## 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-2026-111357 and CVE-2026-97229 as exploited in the wild.

CISA has added two vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog based on confirmed evidence of active exploitation. The first, CVE-2026-111357, affects Ivanti Connect Secure and is a missing authentication for critical function vulnerability, which could allow attackers to bypass authentication controls on the VPN appliance. The second, CVE-2026-97229, affects GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition and is an integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability.

Under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are required to prioritize remediation of KEV-listed vulnerabilities on publicly exposed assets, particularly those that grant total control of the asset post-exploitation, and to check for prior compromise before patching. While BOD 26-04 is mandatory only for FCEB agencies, CISA urges all organizations to treat KEV Catalog entries as high-priority patching targets given their confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.

Defenders running Ivanti Connect Secure or self-managed GitLab instances should identify affected versions, apply vendor patches immediately, and review logs for indicators of compromise predating patch deployment, consistent with BOD 26-04 guidance on checking for prior exploitation.
