CISA Alerts on Active Exploitation of Gladinet and CWP Vulnerabilities
CISA has issued an alert regarding the active exploitation of two critical vulnerabilities: a local file inclusion/remote code execution (LFI/RCE) flaw in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox (CVE-2025-11371), and an OS command injection vulnerability in Control Web Panel (CWP) (CVE-2025-48703). Both vulnerabilities have been added to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog following evidence of in-the-wild attacks, and are considered significant risks for organizations, especially those in the federal enterprise.
Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are mandated by Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01 to remediate these vulnerabilities by the specified due date to protect against ongoing threats. CISA strongly recommends that all organizations, not just federal agencies, prioritize patching these vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practices to reduce exposure to cyberattacks leveraging these flaws.

CISA Adds Gladinet CentreStack and CWP Control Web Panel Vulnerabilities to KEV Catalog
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two critical vulnerabilities—CVE-2025-11371 in Gladinet CentreStack/Triofox and CVE-2025-48703 in Control Web Panel (CWP)—to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2025-11371 is a local file inclusion flaw in Gladinet CentreStack and Triofox that allows unauthenticated access to system files, with reports from Huntress indicating that threat actors have already targeted at least three organizations by running reconnaissance commands via Base64-encoded payloads. CVE-2025-48703 is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in CWP, exploitable via shell metacharacters in the `t_total` parameter of a filemanager request, though there are currently no public reports of this flaw being weaponized in real-world attacks. CISA has mandated that Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies apply the necessary patches by November 25, 2025, to mitigate these risks. Both Gladinet and Huntress have issued alerts and recommended workarounds for the actively exploited CentreStack/Triofox vulnerability, such as disabling the temp handler in the UploadDownloadProxy’s web configuration. The addition of these vulnerabilities to the KEV catalog underscores the urgency for organizations using these platforms to implement security updates and monitor for signs of exploitation, especially as technical details for the CWP flaw have been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of future attacks.

CISA has updated its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog to include three newly identified vulnerabilities: an out-of-bounds write in WatchGuard Firebox OS (`CVE-2025-9242`), a race condition in the Microsoft Windows kernel (`CVE-2025-62215`), and improper access control in Gladinet Triofox (`CVE-2025-12480`). These vulnerabilities have been added due to evidence of active exploitation, with risks ranging from remote code execution on network appliances to privilege escalation on Windows systems and unauthorized access to sensitive setup functions in Triofox. CISA emphasizes the critical nature of these flaws and urges immediate patching and mitigation to prevent exploitation. Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies are mandated under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01 to remediate these vulnerabilities by the specified deadlines, but CISA also strongly recommends that all organizations prioritize addressing these issues as part of their vulnerability management programs. The addition of these CVEs to the KEV Catalog highlights their significance as attack vectors and the ongoing threat they pose to both government and private sector networks. Organizations should verify their exposure and apply all relevant security updates without delay.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added two actively exploited vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog: CVE-2025-54236, an improper input validation flaw in Adobe Commerce and Magento, and CVE-2025-59287, a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server Update Service (WSUS). These vulnerabilities have been confirmed as being exploited in the wild, prompting CISA to require Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate them under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01. CISA also strongly urges all organizations to prioritize patching these vulnerabilities to reduce exposure to cyberattacks. Security researchers have observed widespread exploitation of the Adobe Commerce vulnerability, dubbed "SessionReaper," with over 250 attacks detected in a 24-hour period targeting e-commerce sites via the REST API. Attackers have used this flaw to hijack customer accounts and deploy PHP webshells, while only 38% of affected stores have reportedly applied the available emergency patch. The Microsoft WSUS vulnerability allows unauthorized remote code execution via network exploitation, further increasing the risk to unpatched systems. Both vulnerabilities are considered critical, with public exploit details available, underscoring the urgency for immediate remediation.
