CISA Adds Four Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities to KEV Catalog

Four new vulnerabilities affecting Samsung MagicINFO, SimpleHelp, and D-Link devices have been added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog due to confirmed active exploitation in the wild. These vulnerabilities include path traversal, authorization bypass, and command injection flaws that allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems. The inclusion in the KEV catalog signals that threat actors are actively targeting these specific vulnerabilities, making immediate patching critical. Organizations using these products face elevated risk until patches are applied, as attackers often exploit newly disclosed vulnerabilities within days of publication.
