TL;DR
The CISA KEV Catalog gained two new entries on June 25, 2026. Both additions cite evidence of active exploitation. One flaw hits Cisco Unified Communications Manager. The other hits PTC Windchill and FlexPLM.
Why these CISA KEV Catalog additions matter
Both products sit deep inside enterprise networks. The Cisco flaw can hand an attacker root access. Meanwhile, the PTC flaw allows remote code execution. As a result, federal agencies must patch quickly. CISA set a remediation deadline of June 28, 2026.
How the attacks work
CVE-2026-20230 is an SSRF flaw in Cisco Unified CM’s WebDialer service. An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request. The server then writes files to the operating system, which can escalate to root. By contrast, CVE-2026-12569 is a deserialization flaw in PTC Windchill and FlexPLM. It lets a remote attacker run arbitrary code through a malicious request.
Affected versions
The Cisco bug affects Unified CM and Unified CM SME 14.x before 14SU6 and 15.x before 15SU5. WebDialer must be enabled, though it ships disabled by default. The PTC flaw impacts Windchill and FlexPLM releases before 11.0 M030, including all CPS versions.
Exploitation status
Researchers confirmed active attacks against the Cisco flaw, and a public proof-of-concept exists. CISA also lists the PTC Windchill flaw as exploited.
Patch and mitigation
Cisco urges upgrades to 14SU6 or 15SU5, with an interim COP patch for the 15 train. Disabling WebDialer lowers risk where patching lags. PTC users should move to release 11.0 M030 or later. Apply these fixes now to stay ahead of attackers.
