About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Oct 26, 2026, 19:40 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

CISA added this entry on 2024-09-17. This record's publication date is the catalog addition date, not necessarily the initial vulnerability disclosure. KEV means known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day. CISA due dates apply to covered US federal agencies, not your organizational SLA.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.
