CISA Flags 6 Actively Exploited Flaws in Fortinet, Microsoft, Adobe
CISA has added six actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, covering Fortinet FortiVoice, Microsoft Windows, and Adobe ColdFusion. Federal agencies face mandatory patching deadlines, but all organizations using these platforms should treat this as urgent.
- According to The Hacker News, the Fortinet flaw (CVE-2025-32756) is a stack-based buffer overflow in FortiVoice rated 9.6 CVSS, already observed in real-world attacks. Fortinet confirmed threat actors used it to deploy malware and harvest credentials.
- The Microsoft vulnerabilities span Windows components including NTLM and DWM, with active exploitation confirmed. CISA’s binding directive requires federal agencies to remediate within tight deadlines.
- Adobe ColdFusion is also affected. IT teams running any of these platforms should prioritize patch validation and network monitoring immediately, regardless of federal mandate applicability.
