The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), on Thursday, added two critical security flaws impacting WSO2 and Adobe Commerce and Magento to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation.
The vulnerabilities are listed below -
- CVE-2026-5430 (CVS score: 9.8) - A path traversal vulnerability in WSO2 API Control Plane, API Manager, Traffic Manager and Universal Gateway that could allow unrestricted file upload and lead to remote code execution.
- CVE-2026-71362 (CVSS score: 9.1) - An incorrect authorization vulnerability in Adobe Commerce and Magento that could allow an attacker to leverage this vulnerability to gain elevated access to sensitive resources without any user interaction.
The addition of CVE-2026-5430 to the KEV comes a little over a week after watchTowr said it's seeing in-the-wild exploitation efforts against its honeypots since at least September 13, 2026.
As for CVE-2026-71362, Sansec noted in August 2026 that it had detected and blocked exploitation attempts aimed at the flaw.
"The vulnerability lets attackers switch a customer session to another customer account," the Dutch e-commerce security company said. "This gives them access to the victim's account and private customer data."
Previdian's telemetry indicates that a lone IP address from Australia attempted to exploit the flaw targeting its honeypot sensors on September 10, 2026. Adobe has yet to update its advisory to confirm exploitation status.
Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are advised to apply fixes for both vulnerabilities by September 27, 2026, to safeguard their networks against active threats.
