CISA has added seven vulnerabilities confirmed to be actively exploited in the wild to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Two of the flaws carry maximum CVSS scores of 10.0, and several affect AI infrastructure for the first time.
The catalog update includes a critical Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in SonicWall SMA 1000 series devices (CVE-2026-83548, CVSS 10.0) that allows unauthenticated remote access to internal sensitive functions. A companion command injection flaw (CVE-2026-83549) enables attackers who obtain administrative privileges to execute arbitrary system commands, forming a complete attack chain.
Another high-severity issue affects JFrog Artifactory (CVE-2026-82329, CVSS 9.8). Under default configurations, network-reachable attackers can obtain full administrator rights, potentially exposing build artifacts, container images, and hardcoded credentials stored in the repository.
Additional entries cover a SQL injection vulnerability in Sangoma Switchvox (CVE-2026-9586, CVSS 9.3), a command injection flaw in the Kestra workflow engine (CVE-2026-49869, CVSS 10.0), an HTTP request smuggling issue in Starlette (CVE-2026-48710), and an authentication bypass in the LiteLLM MCP interface (CVE-2026-59822, CVSS 8.8).
Security researchers from Microsoft and Wiz report that threat actors are now systematically targeting AI infrastructure components including LiteLLM gateways, Flowise, LangChain, Ollama, ChromaDB, and MCP servers. The Qilin ransomware group has already leveraged LiteLLM vulnerability chains to bypass authentication and achieve remote code execution.
After compromising a LiteLLM gateway, attackers query the PostgreSQL database tables LiteLLM_ProxyModelTable and LiteLLM_VerificationToken to exfiltrate model configurations and API keys in bulk. They frequently deploy XMRig cryptocurrency miners and terminate competing mining processes before exiting.
Similar intrusions against Kestra instances have involved establishing reverse shells, enumerating Docker environments, deploying miners, and exfiltrating data through the platform’s own key-value interfaces to minimize filesystem artifacts.
CISA has instructed federal agencies to complete remediation by September 5, giving organizations roughly 48 hours. Recommended actions include immediate asset discovery for all listed products, incorporation of AI gateways into formal asset inventories, rotation of all exposed model API keys, and monitoring for unauthorized mining processes and changes to authorized_keys files.
