CERT-FR issued an advisory covering multiple vulnerabilities in NetApp ONTAP 9 storage operating system that could allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution. The affected versions span the entire ONTAP 9.x product line, from 9.12.x through 9.19.x, with specific patched hotfix releases identified for each branch (e.g., 9.12.1P20HF1, 9.13.1P21HF1, up to 9.19.1P3HF1 or 9.19.1P4).

Two CVEs are referenced (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619), though the advisory does not provide technical details of the vulnerabilities beyond the RCE risk classification. No indication of active exploitation in the wild is provided in this bulletin. Defenders running NetApp ONTAP 9 should consult NetApp's security bulletin NTAP-20261021-0021 and apply the appropriate hotfix for their version branch as soon as possible given the remote code execution impact and broad version coverage.
