CISA, NSA, and Partners Issue Annual Report on Top Exploited Vulnerabilities


FORT MEADE, Md. - Malicious cyber actors are increasingly exploiting zero day vulnerabilities to compromise enterprise networks, according to an annual Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) about the top

Eleven of the 15 CVEs were initially exploited as a zero day – a vulnerability in a computer system unknown to its owner, developer, and the general public. The report urges vendors, designers, and developers to prioritize secure by default configurations and to ensure published CVEs include the proper Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs) to identify the root cause of the vulnerability. It also advises end-user organizations to apply timely patches to systems, implement a centralized patch management system, use security tools (e.g., endpoint detection and response (EDR), web application firewalls, and network protocol analyzers), and ask software providers about their secure by design programs.
