CISA has added two new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.
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 Known Exploited Vulnerabilities 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 Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
Today, CISA—through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative and in coordination with the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD)—released the National Cyber Incident Response Plan Update Public Comment Draft. The draft requests public comment on the National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP)—public comment period begins today and concludes on January 15, 2025.
As of January 3, 2025: The public comment period has been extended and now concludes on February 14, 2025.
Since initial publication in 2016, CISA conducted broad and extensive engagement and information exchanges with public and private sector partners, interagency partners, federal Sector Risk Management Agencies (SRMAs), and regulators to build upon the successes of the inaugural NCIRP. The draft NCIRP update describes a national approach to coordinating significant cyber incident detection and response.
The draft update considers the evolution in the cyber threat landscape and lessons learned from historical incidents. The text also addresses the vital role that the private sector, state and local governments (including tribal and territorial), and federal agencies hold in responding to cyber incidents.
CISA is seeking more perspectives to help strengthen the NCIRP and invites stakeholders from across the public and private sectors to share their knowledge and experiences, further informing our findings and contributing to this revision. Public comments may be posted via the Federal Register.
