Executive Summary

CISA has added two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog: CVE-2021-22175 affecting GitLab through server-side request forgery, and CVE-2026-22769 involving hard-coded credentials in Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines. These vulnerabilities represent significant risks as they serve as frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors. Under BOD 22-01, Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies must remediate these vulnerabilities by specified due dates. CISA strongly urges all organizations to prioritize timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice to reduce exposure to cyberattacks.

Summary

CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog , based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2021-22175 GitLab Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Vulnerability CVE-2026-22769 Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (RP4VMs) Use of Hard-coded Credentials Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information. Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria .
