Summary
CISA has added two new vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-61624 and CVE-2026-102764, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog due to evidence of active exploitation. These vulnerabilities, affecting Fortinet products and BeyondTrust Remote Support respectively, are frequently used by malicious actors. CISA's Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04 mandates federal agencies to prioritize the remediation of these high-risk vulnerabilities on publicly exposed assets.
The lesson from this incident
Full lessonCISA's addition of CVE-2025-61624 and CVE-2026-102764 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog confirms that threat actors are actively exploiting unpatched flaws in Fortinet products and BeyondTrust Remote Support — two widely deployed enterprise tools. The root cause is a failure to apply vendor patches promptly, leaving publicly exposed assets as easy targets for malicious actors. BeyondTrust and Fortinet products are high-value targets because they often hold privileged access to internal networks, meaning a successful exploit can serve as a launchpad for lateral movement or data exfiltration. Federal agencies are legally obligated under BOD 26-04 to remediate these vulnerabilities, but the broader private sector should treat the KEV Catalog as an urgent, actionable threat intelligence feed rather than a government-only concern.
