Priorities are editorial action assessments; vendor CVSS severity is listed separately in vulnerability briefs. KEV dates identify catalog additions, not necessarily original disclosures. These are selected highlights from the CISA KEV catalog.
For covered federal systems, determine asset-specific deadlines and forensic triage requirements using BOD 26-04 guidance. Other organizations should check applicable contracts and policies. September and October dates and status are verified through October 22, 2026.
