Federal agencies need to apply vendor recommended mitigations for each flaw on or before October 25.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added a total of four security vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) so far this week.
Federal civilian executive branch agencies have until Oct. 25 to address the flaws. But others using the affected products should mitigate as well because attackers are actively targeting each of the flaws.
