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-2026-67277 and CVE-2026-86060 as exploited in the wild.
CISA has added two MikroTik RouterOS vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog based on confirmed evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2026-67277 is a missing authentication vulnerability affecting a critical function, and CVE-2026-86060 involves improper neutralization of argument delimiters in a command, which could enable command injection. Both affect MikroTik RouterOS, a widely deployed network operating system used in routers and networking equipment across enterprise, ISP, and small-office environments, making it an attractive target for threat actors seeking to compromise network infrastructure.
Under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 26-04, Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are required to prioritize remediation of vulnerabilities in the KEV Catalog, particularly those on publicly exposed assets that could grant an attacker total control post-exploitation. The directive also requires agencies to check whether systems were compromised prior to patching. While BOD 26-04 only binds FCEB agencies, CISA recommends all organizations using MikroTik RouterOS treat these as high-priority patches given confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.
Defenders operating MikroTik RouterOS devices, especially those exposed to the internet, should identify affected versions, apply vendor patches or mitigations immediately, and audit devices for signs of compromise predating remediation. Given RouterOS devices are frequently used as edge/perimeter network equipment, compromise could enable persistent network access, traffic interception, or use as a pivot point for further intrusion.

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.
