CISA Adds Three Known Exploited Vulnerabilities to Catalog

CISA Advisories [CISA KEV]

CISA KEV: CVE-2026-20349 — active exploitation confirmed.

Affected: CISA

Mira Hormone Monitor, Mira Android App

CISA Advisories | CVSS 9.8 | CVE-2026-66875, CVE-2026-66098, CVE-2026-67558, CVE-2026-67568, CVE-2026-68067, CVE-2026-66340, CVE-2026-64934, CVE-2026-66832

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run Mira Monitor Firmware 1.7.1.47 or Mira Android App 4.5.15.4: unauthenticated access to health data and account takeover possible.

🎯 Affected versions: Mira Monitor Firmware 1.7.1.47, Mira Android App 4.5.15.4

🎭 In plain English:
An attacker can access your health data and take over your account without needing any credentials. They could change your fertility tracking information or disrupt the device's functionality.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Device within Bluetooth range (approximately 10-30 meters)

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to potential for unauthorized access to sensitive health information and disruption of critical monitoring functions.

💡 Context: The device firmware accepts unauthenticated commands over Bluetooth, allowing attackers to perform critical functions without proper authentication.

✅ Fixed in: iOS v3.5.18, Android v4.5.18, Firmware v01.07.01.53

Johnson Controls C-CURE 9000 and Victor application server (Update A)

CISA Advisories | CVSS 9.6 | CVE-2026-21655

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run Johnson Controls C-CURE 9000 <=v3.10.1 or Victor Application Server <=v4.10: unauthenticated RCE via SSRF, actively exploitable by adjacent network attackers.

🎯 Affected versions: C-CURE 9000 <=v3.10.1, Victor Application Server <=v4.10, victor <=v7.0, victor Web <=v7.1

🎭 In plain English:
An attacker on the same network can execute arbitrary code on your security system without needing a password or any credentials. This means they could take full control of your physical security controls and potentially disable alarms or open doors.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Network access to the affected systems
• No authentication required

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for unauthenticated remote code execution, which can severely impact physical security controls.

✅ Fixed in: C-CURE 9000 v3.20 or later, Victor Application Server v4.20 or later, victor v8.0 or later

Kimwolf v7: An Evolution of the Kimwolf Botnet

Palo Alto Unit 42

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you run Android TV boxes or set-top boxes: Kimwolf v7 targets these devices with advanced DDoS capabilities and resilient C2 infrastructure, potentially leading to botnet recruitment.

🎯 Affected versions: Android TV boxes and set-top boxes with ADB enabled on port 5555
Not affected: Devices without Android Debug Bridge (ADB) enabled or not running affected Android versions.

🎭 In plain English:
Your Android TV box or set-top box can be hijacked by Kimwolf v7, which uses advanced techniques to blend in with normal traffic and maintain control. An attacker could use your device for DDoS attacks without you noticing.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• ADB must be enabled on port 5555
• Device must have internet access

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to the potential for widespread botnet recruitment and active targeting of Android IoT devices.

💡 Context: The malware uses HTTP/2 with browser fingerprint spoofing, making it harder to detect, and employs Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Tor for resilient C2 communication.

Why Should I Care? 🟡 MEDIUM (1)

Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulator

CISA Advisories | CVSS 8.1 | CVE-2026-18844

❓ Why Should I Care?
Yes, if you use any version of Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulator: hidden commands can disable safety mechanisms or alter stimulation settings without authentication.

🎯 Affected versions: Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulator vers:all/*

🎭 In plain English:
An attacker can send hidden commands over Bluetooth to your device, potentially disabling safety features or changing how it stimulates your nerves. This could mean the device stops working safely or starts behaving in ways that weren't intended.

🔧 Prerequisites:

• Device must be within Bluetooth range
• Attacker needs a device capable of sending BLE commands

⏱ Urgency: High urgency due to potential for serious harm if safety mechanisms are disabled or settings altered.

💡 Context: The firmware accepts undisclosed commands over its Bluetooth Low Energy interface without authentication, allowing unauthorized changes.
