CISA Adds Two Actively Exploited Flaws to Its Catalog

On August 20, 2026, CISA listed two more vulnerabilities in its KEV Catalog after finding evidence of active exploitation [1]. The agency directed federal civilian agencies to prioritize fixing two exploited flaws in the TrueConf Server self-hosted communications platform [5]. CISA made similar additions earlier in the week, four on August 18 and one on August 17 [2][3]. Under BOD 26-04, federal civilian executive branch agencies must move quickly on high-risk CVEs in the catalog [1].
