Carrying forward from last week, Microsoft Exchange XSS CVE-2026-42897 remains under active attack with CISA listing in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, May 2026 Patch Tuesday's unauthenticated Netlogon and DNS RCE pair stays the priority server-side patch at CVSS 9.8, and Ivanti EPMM CVE-2026-6973 still triggers the 3-day federal deadline for any organization running on-prem mobile device management. If your business depends on an NGINX-fronted application, a Cisco SD-WAN fabric, on-premises Exchange, or Ivanti EPMM, this week's advisories require action today — start with the article-level remediation steps below.

HIGH: Ivanti EPMM CVE-2026-6973 Under Active Exploitation, CISA Mandates 3-Day Federal Patch Deadline

Ivanti has confirmed in-the-wild exploitation of CVE-2026-6973, an authenticated remote code execution flaw in on-premises Endpoint Manager Mobile rated CVSS 7.2. CISA added the bug to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on May 7 and gave federal agencies until May 10, 2026 to remediate.
