p CISA has added nbsp;one nbsp;new vulnerability nbsp;to its nbsp; a href= https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog /a , based on evidence of active exploitation. nbsp; /p ul type= disc li a href= https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-48172 target= _blank CVE-2026-48172 /a nbsp;LiteSpeed nbsp;cPanel Plugin Privilege Escalation Vulnerability /li /ul p This nbsp;type of vulnerability is a nbsp;frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and poses nbsp;significant risks to the federal enterprise. /p p a href= https://www.cisa.gov/binding-operational-directive-22-01 Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities /a nbsp;established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats.
