CyberSIXT Evidence Panel

ACCORDING to CISA, the U.S. agency added two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, affecting ConnectWise ScreenConnect and Microsoft Windows, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2024-1708 is a path traversal flaw in ConnectWise ScreenConnect (fixed February 2024) with a CVSS of 8.4, while CVE-2026-32202 is a Windows Shell protection mechanism failure (fixed in April 2026) with a CVSS of 4.3 that could allow spoofing over a network.

Microsoft had updated its advisory for CVE-2026-32202 to note active exploitation, and Akamai attributed related activity to an incomplete patch for CVE-2026-21510, linked to the Russia-based APT28 in attacks since December 2025. Attacks exploiting CVE-2024-1708 have been connected to a chain with CVE-2024-1709 by multiple threat actors over the years, while Microsoft tied exploitation of the Windows flaw to Storm-1175 in attacks deploying Medusa ransomware. Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies are required to apply fixes by 12 May 2026 to secure their networks.
