The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog: CVE-2025-43529, a use-after-free vulnerability in Apple’s WebKit engine affecting multiple Apple products, and CVE-2025-14611, a hard-coded cryptographic vulnerability in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox. These vulnerabilities have been identified as significant risks due to evidence of active exploitation, prompting CISA to require Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to remediate them by specified deadlines under Binding Operational Directive 22-01. CISA also strongly encourages all organizations, not just federal agencies, to prioritize remediation of these vulnerabilities to reduce exposure to cyberattacks.
Recent reports indicate that the Apple WebKit vulnerability (CVE-2025-43529) has been exploited in highly targeted attacks, likely involving nation-state actors and commercial spyware vendors, with a focus on high-value individuals. Apple and Google both released urgent security updates in response to these attacks, though details remain limited. The WebKit flaw allows attackers to trigger memory corruption through specially crafted web content, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. The Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox vulnerability involves hard-coded cryptographic keys, which could be leveraged by attackers to compromise affected systems. Organizations are urged to apply available patches and follow CISA’s guidance to mitigate these threats.

Under Binding Operational Directive 22-01, CISA required Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to remediate the newly added Apple and Gladinet vulnerabilities by 2026-01-05. CISA also strongly encouraged non-federal organizations to patch or mitigate the issues promptly.
CISA added CVE-2025-43529 in Apple WebKit and CVE-2025-14611 in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog after evidence of active exploitation. The agency said the flaws pose significant risk and urged organizations to prioritize remediation.
Apple and Google released urgent security updates for CVE-2025-43529, a use-after-free vulnerability in Apple WebKit, after highly targeted attacks that were likely linked to nation-state actors or commercial spyware vendors. The flaw could allow arbitrary code execution on affected Apple products.

**CISA added multiple vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog**, triggering mandatory remediation timelines for U.S. federal civilian agencies. The newly listed issues include an actively exploited flaw in **SolarWinds Web Help Desk** (`CVE-2025-40536`) with an accelerated patch deadline, alongside additional KEV additions affecting **Apple** platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS), **Microsoft** products, and **Notepad++**. Apple stated it was aware of reports the issue “may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals,” with **Google Threat Analysis Group** credited with discovery, underscoring continued targeting of high-value users via mobile/endpoint zero-days. Separate reporting highlighted the broader operational context driving these directives: **Microsoft’s February security update** addressed **59 vulnerabilities**, including **six zero-days under active exploitation**, reinforcing that exploit timelines are compressing and patching is increasingly a “defense sprint.” In parallel, CISA also moved to reduce systemic exposure at the perimeter by ordering agencies to **remove unsupported network edge devices** (e.g., firewalls/routers) within a year, reflecting concern that end-of-support infrastructure and rapidly weaponized vulnerabilities are converging into a persistent, high-impact federal risk.

CISA has updated its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog to include three newly identified vulnerabilities: an out-of-bounds write in WatchGuard Firebox OS (`CVE-2025-9242`), a race condition in the Microsoft Windows kernel (`CVE-2025-62215`), and improper access control in Gladinet Triofox (`CVE-2025-12480`). These vulnerabilities have been added due to evidence of active exploitation, with risks ranging from remote code execution on network appliances to privilege escalation on Windows systems and unauthorized access to sensitive setup functions in Triofox. CISA emphasizes the critical nature of these flaws and urges immediate patching and mitigation to prevent exploitation. Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are mandated under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01 to remediate these vulnerabilities by the specified deadlines, but CISA also strongly recommends that all organizations prioritize addressing these issues as part of their vulnerability management programs. The addition of these CVEs to the KEV Catalog highlights their significance as attack vectors and the ongoing threat they pose to both government and private sector networks. Organizations should verify their exposure and apply all relevant security updates without delay.

CISA repeatedly expanded its **Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog** after confirming active exploitation across a wide range of products, including Apple platforms, Ivanti EPM and EPMM, SolarWinds Web Help Desk, Omnissa Workspace ONE, n8n, Google Chromium and Skia, Wing FTP Server, Zimbra, Cisco firewall management products, Langflow, Aqua Security Trivy, F5 BIG-IP, Fortinet FortiClient EMS, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Windows, Defender, Adobe Acrobat/Reader, Apache ActiveMQ, Trend Micro Apex One, Palo Alto PAN-OS, and other enterprise software. Several entries were especially notable because they involved **remote code execution, code injection, deserialization, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and supply-chain-style malicious code risks**, while CISA also highlighted active exploitation of older legacy Microsoft and Adobe flaws that remain dangerous on unpatched or end-of-life systems. Reporting tied some of the newly listed issues to concrete attack activity and elevated operational risk. Apple flaws added to KEV were reported as exploitable through malicious web content or apps and could lead to arbitrary code execution or kernel-level execution, while the critical Langflow bug `CVE-2025-34291` was described as enabling session hijacking, token theft, persistence, and possible full system compromise in AI workflow deployments; separate reporting said the Iranian threat actor **MuddyWater** used it for initial access. Trend Micro said it observed at least one attempted in-the-wild exploitation of its Apex One flaw, and coverage of Ivanti vulnerabilities warned that defenders should not rely solely on shared indicators of compromise. Under **Binding Operational Directive 22-01**, Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies were ordered to remediate each KEV-listed flaw by assigned deadlines, and CISA urged all organizations to apply vendor fixes or mitigations immediately and discontinue affected products if no mitigation is available.
