CISA’s inclusion of CVE-2026-12569 in the KEV catalog confirms active exploitation of a critical deserialization flaw in PTC Windchill PDMlink and FlexPLM, with attackers deploying JSP web shells for persistence. Despite patches released the prior week, continued threat activity highlights systemic delays in enterprise patch deployment and detection coverage for specialized PLM systems. Read more
Active exploitation of CVE-2026-20230, a critical SSRF vulnerability in Cisco Unified CM enabling unauthenticated file writes and potential root access via the WebDialer service, has prompted CISA to add the flaw to its KEV catalog with a June 28, 2026 deadline for federal agencies. Despite WebDialer being disabled by default, misconfigurations in enterprise deployments are exposing systems to attack, highlighting the critical need for configuration validation alongside patching.
