What to check
- Applies to
- The 2 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- CISA lists CVE-2025-68686 and CVE-2026-16812 as exploited in the wild.
CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on confirmed evidence of active exploitation: CVE-2025-68686, an information disclosure flaw in Fortinet FortiOS, and CVE-2026-16812, an OS command injection vulnerability in Arista VeloCloud Orchestrator On-Prem. Both products are widely deployed in enterprise network infrastructure, making them attractive targets for threat actors seeking initial access or further compromise.
Under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04, Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies must prioritize remediation of KEV-listed vulnerabilities on internet-exposed assets, particularly those enabling full asset takeover, and verify whether systems were compromised prior to patching. While the directive is mandatory only for FCEB agencies, CISA recommends all organizations adopt similar risk-based patching practices for these two vulnerabilities given their confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
