These types of vulnerabilities are common attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise.
Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reduce Significant Risk from Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the Known Exploited Vulnerability Catalog as a living list of known common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) that pose significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to patch identified vulnerabilities by the deadline to protect FCEB networks from active threats. View the BOD Fact Sheet 22-01 for more information.
Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing the timely remediation of catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.
