Cisco and GitLab flaws enter CISA exploited-vulnerability catalogue
CISA added Cisco CVE-2026-76418 and GitLab CVE-2026-97229 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 29 October, with remediation deadlines of 1 November 2026. Cisco says its firewall flaw is being exploited, while CISA’s GitLab listing confirms active exploitation; neither source identifies the attackers or establishes ransomware use. The Alpine Linux GitLab attack was reported in the previous edition, but Alpine said it could not establish whether its server was compromised.
