CVEs that matter, October 31, 2026: 7 to patch first, 3 exploited

This week's vulnerabilities with real evidence of attack, led by CVE-2026-111357 in Ivanti Connect Secure.

7 CVEs, 3 exploited

The 7 vulnerabilities from the past week with the strongest evidence of real-world attack, ranked by that evidence first and the likelihood of exploitation second. 3 are confirmed or reported exploited in the wild. 3 affect AI systems or tools.

  1. CVE-2026-111357 Ivanti Connect Secure Missing Authentication for Critical Function Vulnerability

    Ivanti Connect Secure contains a missing authentication for critical function vulnerability that could allow a local authenticated attacker to escalate their privileges. This vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-104935 and CVE-2026-118527. (CISA)

    • Exploited in the wild: listed by CISA on Oct 30; US federal agencies must fix it by Nov 2.
    • VulnCheck KEV: reported exploited (listed Oct 16), 2 reports. 14 days before CISA. First report: nvd.nist.gov.
    • Likelihood (EPSS): 0.32% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 25% of all CVEs.
    • CISA assessment (SSVC): exploitation seen; not easily automated; total control of the affected system.

    What to do (CISA): Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements”. Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

How we rank

Evidence that attackers are using a flaw comes first: CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, VulnCheck KEV and CISA’s own SSVC assessment. Then the likelihood of attack in the next 30 days from FIRST’s Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), then severity. A high severity score alone doesn’t make the list. Flaws in AI systems and agent tools are weighted up because they are a fast-growing target. Everything here comes straight from those sources; nothing is estimated by us.

EPSS scores are from FIRST.org. Exploitation reports marked VulnCheck KEV are from VulnCheck’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (data © VulnCheck). Always confirm the fixed version in the vendor’s advisory.
