CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog , based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2026-102489 Zammad GmbH Zammad Session Fixation Vulnerability CVE-2026-102490 Zammad GmbH Zammad Improper Privilege Management Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.  Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04: Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk establishes vulnerability management requirements for Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies.

BOD 26-04 further establishes basic expectations for when agencies must check whether threat actors compromised the system before the patch was applied.  While BOD 26-04 applies only to FCEB agencies, CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management and prioritize remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities .
