CISA Adds Microsoft SharePoint and Zimbra Vulnerabilities to KEV Catalog
CISA added two newly tracked flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog: CVE-2026-20963 in Microsoft SharePoint and CVE-2025-66376 in Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite. The SharePoint issue is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability, mapped to CWE-502, that can allow code execution over the network; CISA’s KEV entry describes it as enabling an unauthorized attacker to execute code remotely. The Zimbra issue is a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the Classic UI, mapped to CWE-79, in which attackers can abuse CSS @import directives in email HTML.
CISA’s KEV update requires federal civilian executive branch agencies to remediate the SharePoint flaw by 2026-03-21 and the Zimbra flaw by 2026-04-01, or follow applicable mitigation guidance under BOD 22-01. The GitHub KEV data commit confirms both additions and records the required actions as applying vendor mitigations, following cloud-service guidance where relevant, or discontinuing use if mitigations are unavailable. The reporting also notes that, while the KEV catalog is binding on federal agencies, private organizations should review the catalog and prioritize these vulnerabilities because CISA has identified them as actively exploited.

CISA Adds Actively Exploited Microsoft SharePoint RCE to KEV Catalog
**CISA** added **CVE-2026-20963**, a **Microsoft SharePoint** deserialization flaw, to its **Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV)** catalog after confirming active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability allows an **unauthorized remote attacker** to execute arbitrary code over the network by sending crafted serialized data that SharePoint improperly deserializes, creating a **pre-authentication remote code execution** path. Reporting indicates the specific threat actors behind the attacks have not been publicly identified, but the flaw affects a widely deployed enterprise collaboration platform that often stores sensitive internal documents and communications. The KEV entry triggered urgent remediation requirements, including a **March 21, 2026** deadline for **FCEB agencies** under **Binding Operational Directive 22-01**. Additional reporting notes that the same KEV update also included vulnerabilities in **Wing FTP Server** and **Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite**, but the SharePoint issue stands out because of its likely value for **initial access brokers** and **ransomware affiliates** seeking enterprise footholds. Organizations using SharePoint should treat internet-exposed systems as high priority for patching and review for signs of compromise given confirmed in-the-wild exploitation.

CISA Adds Actively Exploited Zimbra XSS Flaw to KEV Catalog
**CISA** added **CVE-2025-66376** to its **Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV)** catalog after confirming active exploitation of a **stored cross-site scripting (XSS)** flaw in **Synacor Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS)**. The vulnerability affects the *Classic UI* and allows remote unauthenticated attackers to abuse CSS `@import` directives embedded in email HTML, creating a path to execute malicious JavaScript in a victim's browser session. The KEV entry describes the issue as a **CWE-79** XSS vulnerability and directs organizations to apply vendor mitigations, follow **BOD 22-01** guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use if mitigations are unavailable. CISA ordered **Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB)** agencies to remediate the flaw by **April 1**, while also urging private-sector organizations to patch quickly because the bug is being exploited in the wild. Reporting on the KEV addition notes that the flaw was patched by Zimbra earlier and could enable session hijacking and theft of sensitive data within affected Zimbra environments through malicious HTML email content. The same KEV update also included other unrelated vulnerabilities, but the Zimbra entry is the relevant event tied to the active exploitation warning and federal patching directive.

CISA Adds Four Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities to the KEV Catalog
CISA added **four vulnerabilities** to its **Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog** based on evidence of active exploitation: **CVE-2008-0015** (Microsoft Windows Video ActiveX Control RCE), **CVE-2020-7796** (Synacor *Zimbra Collaboration Suite* SSRF, noted as relevant when the WebEx zimlet is installed and zimlet JSP is enabled), **CVE-2024-7694** (TeamT5 *ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware* unrestricted file upload that can enable server-side command execution when an attacker has admin access to the platform), and **CVE-2026-2441** (Google Chromium CSS use-after-free). Under **BOD 22-01**, U.S. Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are required to remediate KEV-listed issues by CISA’s specified due dates, and CISA urged all organizations to prioritize remediation as part of vulnerability management. CISA’s public KEV data repository was updated to reflect the new catalog release (increasing the total count and adding entries including **CVE-2020-7796** and **CVE-2024-7694** with remediation guidance and metadata). Separately, industry commentary emphasized that KEV is best used as a prioritization input rather than a blanket “panic list,” recommending teams weigh exploitability context (e.g., required privileges/local access vs. remote control) and combine KEV with other signals such as **CVSS**, **EPSS**, and observed exploit tooling to drive patch sequencing.
