CISA has added two vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog due to active exploitation: CVE-2026-76460, an incorrect use of privileged APIs in Cisco Identity Services Engine, and CVE-2026-87886, an incorrect default permissions flaw in Acronis Backup. These vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious actors and grant significant post-exploitation control. While the article does not provide CVSS scores, affected versions, fixed versions, or workarounds, it emphasizes that all organizations should prioritize remediation of KEV-listed vulnerabilities based on the risk-based framework outlined in CISA's Binding Operational Directive 26-04.
CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog , based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2026-76460 Cisco Identity Services Engine Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs Vulnerability CVE-2026-87886 Acronis Backup Incorrect Default Permissions Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are a frequent attack vector 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 reinforces the importance of the KEV Catalog and requires federal agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of high-risk vulnerabilities, specifically those identified by Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) listed in CISA’s KEV Catalog on publicly exposed assets that grant total control of the asset post-exploitation, while deferring action for lower-risk vulnerabilities. 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 . CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria . Aware of an exploited vulnerability not currently listed in the KEV Catalog? Submit it for potential addition through CISA’s KEV Nomination Form . Potential KEV additions must have a CVE ID, evidence of exploitation, and clear mitigation guidance.
