CISA Adds Exploited Vulnerabilities, Orders Fast Zimbra Patching

CISA added two vulnerabilities to its catalog of actively exploited flaws on Aug. 20, following one on Aug. 19 and four on Aug. 18 [1][2][3]. The agency cited Binding Operational Directive 26-04, which requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies to prioritize rapid fixes for high-risk CVEs [1]. CISA also directed federal agencies to patch an exploited Zimbra Collaboration Suite flaw, CVE-2026-73570, within three days; Zimbra fixed it in version 10.1.20, released July 20 [5]. The flaw allows unauthenticated remote code execution through command injection in the SNMP monitoring component when SNMP notifications are enabled [5].
