AI-generated illustration by CyberShitty. Not a photograph or a document from the organisations named.
On 8 October 2026, CISA added 5 actively exploited vulnerabilities affecting ProFTPD, ISC, Apache, ONLYOFFICE, Strapi to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. If you run any of these products, patch or mitigate now — exploitation is already happening.
KEV deadlines bind US federal agencies only, but a listing means attackers are already using the flaw, so treat it as a patch-now signal. If one of these products in your organisation was compromised, CERT-In's directions of 28 April 2022 require service providers, intermediaries, data centres, companies and government organisations to report specified incidents within 6 hours of noticing them. How to report an incident to CERT-In.
