CERT-FR issued an advisory regarding a vulnerability in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows versions 14.0 and 14.1 that lack the update released on August 30, 2026.

Kaspersky published a corresponding security bulletin (12430#310826) on August 31, 2026, with corrective patches available. Organizations running the affected versions without the referenced update should apply the vendor patch as soon as possible to restore intended policy enforcement.
