CISA Adds New Flaws to KEV Catalog

CISA Adds New Flaws to KEV Catalog

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently updated its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, a critical list of security flaws known to be actively exploited by threat actors. The new additions include vulnerabilities impacting widely used products from Smartbedded Meteobridge, Samsung, Juniper ScreenOS, Jenkins, and the ever-present GNU Bash. This update isn’t merely a suggestion; it’s a formal directive for all Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies, who are now required to patch these vulnerabilities by a specific deadline to protect their networks from potential attacks.

One of the more notorious flaws added is a command injection vulnerability in GNU Bash, tracked as CVE-2014-6278. This particular bug, which can allow for remote code execution, is a remnant of the infamous “Bash Bug” discovered in 2014. It highlights the persistence of old, unpatched vulnerabilities and the importance of a comprehensive patching strategy. The initial discovery of the original Bash Bug sent shockwaves through the IT community due to its widespread impact on Linux and Unix systems. This new addition to the catalog underscores that even years later, these flaws can still pose a significant risk if not fully mitigated.

In addition to the GNU Bash issue, CISA also included a critical improper authentication flaw, CVE-2015-7755, affecting Juniper ScreenOS. This vulnerability could allow remote attackers to gain administrative access to a system by entering an unspecified password during an SSH or TELNET session, bypassing standard security protocols. Another notable entry is a remote code execution vulnerability, CVE-2017-1000353, found in Jenkins, which could be exploited by transferring a specially crafted Java object. The flaw, which bypasses existing security mechanisms, required a specific fix to be blacklisted within the Jenkins application.

The two most recent vulnerabilities added to the catalog are a command injection flaw in Smartbedded Meteobridge and an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Samsung mobile devices. The Meteobridge vulnerability, CVE-2025-4008, allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary root commands through the device’s web interface. This is particularly concerning because it requires no prior authentication, making it easy to exploit. The Samsung vulnerability, CVE-2025-21043, affects certain mobile devices and could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. These recent additions show that CISA’s catalog is not just for legacy systems but also for contemporary, actively exploited flaws.

Per Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, federal agencies have a non-negotiable deadline of October 23, 2025, to fix these specific vulnerabilities. This deadline is a direct measure to reduce the significant risk posed by these known exploited flaws. While the directive is mandatory for federal agencies, CISA and cybersecurity experts alike strongly recommend that private sector organizations also review the KEV catalog and prioritize patching these same vulnerabilities. By addressing these known threats, both government and private entities can substantially improve their security posture against cyberattacks.
