CISA Adds Three Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities to KEV Catalog Affecting Langflow, Apache Tomcat and N-central
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added three actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, warning organizations to remediate them immediately.
The vulnerabilities added on August 4, 2026, are CVE-2026-9198, CVE-2026-34486, and CVE-2026-18556. Federal agencies have until August 7, 2026, to apply mitigations.
CVE-2026-9198 in Langflow
CVE-2026-9198 is a code injection flaw in Langflow, an open-source platform used to build AI applications. Attackers can chain API requests without authentication to obtain tokens and execute arbitrary code on affected systems.
CVE-2026-34486 in Apache Tomcat
CVE-2026-34486 affects Apache Tomcat. Successful exploitation allows attackers to bypass the EncryptInterceptor mechanism responsible for encrypting traffic between cluster nodes, potentially exposing data in transit.
CVE-2026-18556 and CVE-2026-18577 in N-central
CVE-2026-18556 impacts N-able N-central, an IT operations management platform. The flaw permits authentication bypass via alternate channels. An incomplete remediation for this issue led to the discovery of CVE-2026-18577, which was added to the KEV catalog on August 3, 2026.
Security teams are advised to review the official CISA KEV catalog and apply vendor patches without delay.

Windows 11 May Silently Remove Discrete GPU Drivers Due to Eco Mode on Gaming Laptops
Windows 11 has introduced an unexpected behavior that can delete drivers for discrete graphics cards on gaming laptops when the device remains powered off for an extended period in Eco Mode. The issue was first reported by the owner of an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 equipped with a mobile GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, where the system treated the physically disconnected GPU as permanently removed after 15 days. Windows component pnpclean.dll then purged both the device entry and the associated Nvidia driver package, leaving the laptop with only a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter reporting error code 10. The default cleanup timer is normally 30 days, but it can be shorter for certain hardware configurations that fully disconnect discrete graphics for power saving. Similar incidents have been observed on older Asus ROG models with AMD Radeon GPUs, prompting the developer of G-Helper to add a warning to the utility. Users can mitigate the problem by periodically switching to Standard Mode or by disabling automatic driver package cleanup via a specific PowerShell command that sets the Autorun value to 0 under the Device Driver Packages registry key. Microsoft has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
CISA Adds Actively Exploited Zimbra CVE-2026-73570 to KEV Catalog with Immediate Patching Deadline
CISA has added CVE-2026-73570 affecting Zimbra Collaboration Suite to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, ordering urgent remediation due to confirmed active exploitation. The flaw enables unauthenticated remote command execution on servers where the optional zimbra-snmp package is installed and SNMP notifications are enabled. Exploitation occurs via specially crafted SMTP requests that trigger operating system command injection under the privileges of the zimbra user. Zimbra released the fix in version 10.1.20 on July 20, 2026, while CISA placed the vulnerability in the KEV list on August 21 and set an August 24 deadline for federal civilian agencies. Organizations are advised to first verify exposure by checking for zimbra-snmp and SNMP notification settings before applying the update. Post-patch steps include validating the version, controlled service restarts, and hunting for indicators such as unexpected Zimbra restarts, anomalous zimbra user activity, and new files in sensitive directories like /opt/zimbra/jetty/webapps/. The directive highlights the critical nature of pre-authentication flaws in internet-facing mail servers that process untrusted inbound traffic.
CISA Adds Zimbra Collaboration Suite CVE-2026-73570 to KEV Catalog After Confirmed Exploitation
US authorities have issued a warning about active exploitation of a vulnerability in the Zimbra Collaboration Suite. CISA added the OS command injection flaw CVE-2026-73570 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on August 21, 2026, marking the fifth such entry for the year. The issue resides in the SNMP monitoring component and allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands with Zimbra user privileges when SNMP notifications are enabled. MITRE rated the vulnerability 8.9 on CVSS v3.1, classifying it as High severity. Federal agencies must apply mitigations by August 24, while all organizations using the product are urged to prioritize patching to prevent further abuse.
IBM Patches 191 Vulnerabilities in AIX and PowerVM VIOS Including Critical Remote Command Execution Flaws
IBM disclosed a large set of security vulnerabilities affecting its UNIX-based AIX operating system and the PowerVM VIOS virtualization component. The company addressed a total of 191 CVEs through multiple updated releases for both products. Thirty-five of the issues received CVSS base scores of 9.0 or higher, with three OS command injection vulnerabilities rated at 9.9 that allow remote attackers to execute commands with low privileges. IBM provided specific Technology Level and Service Pack updates for AIX 7.3 and 7.2 branches along with corresponding fixes for PowerVM VIOS versions 4.1.x. The advisory covers both IBM-developed code and third-party software components integrated into the platforms. All listed CVEs are now resolved in the recommended maintenance levels released on August 15.
