Vorant's rating weighs the evidence in the report: confirmed exploitation, victims claimed, CVSS and EPSS, and how many sources agree. It rates the report, not your assets.

> CISA added four actively exploited vulnerabilities in GPUStack, SignalWire FreeSwitch, OpenBSD OpenSSH, and IBM Aspera Faspex to its KEV catalog.

## What to check

- Applies to: The 4 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation: CISA lists CVE-2026-102895, CVE-2026-116779, CVE-2026-123158, and CVE-2026-123218 as exploited in the wild.

CISA has added four vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on confirmed evidence of active exploitation. The affected products span diverse use cases: GPUStack (an improper authentication flaw), SignalWire FreeSwitch (a code injection vulnerability), OpenBSD OpenSSH (an unexpected status code/return value issue), and IBM Aspera Faspex (an incorrect authorization vulnerability). No further technical detail on exploitation methods, threat actors, or victims was provided in this bulletin.

Under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies must prioritize remediation of KEV-listed vulnerabilities that grant total control of publicly exposed assets post-exploitation, and must check for prior compromise before patching in certain cases. While BOD 26-04 is mandatory only for FCEB agencies, CISA recommends all organizations adopt risk-based vulnerability management and remediate these four vulnerabilities promptly given confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.

Defenders running GPUStack, SignalWire FreeSwitch, OpenBSD OpenSSH, or IBM Aspera Faspex should identify affected versions, apply vendor patches, and review for indicators of compromise predating patch application, particularly on internet-facing instances.
