Source: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (public data). Descriptions are CISA's, shortened. Always check the vendor advisory before acting. cisa.gov

Before you patch: three checks

  1. 01Match the exact version and configuration you run against the vendor advisory. Owning the product is not the same as being exposed.
  2. 02Check reachability: an exploited flaw on an interface reachable from the internet, or from a compromised workstation, moves to the front of the queue.
  3. 03Where CISA flags forensic triage, hunt for compromise as well as patch: a fix does not remove an attacker who got in before it.
