CISA adds GitLab CE/EE path traversal flaw CVE-2026-85706 to KEV catalog on evidence of active exploitation
CISA added one vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog on 2026-09-11 based on evidence of active exploitation: CVE-2026-85706, a path traversal vulnerability in GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE). CISA describes this vulnerability type as a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and a significant risk to the federal enterprise. The alert gives no technical details, affected versions, exploitation specifics or attribution.
The alert also references BOD 26-04, which requires FCEB agencies to prioritize rapid remediation of KEV-listed CVEs on publicly exposed assets that grant total control after exploitation. It further sets expectations for checking whether threat actors compromised a system before the patch was applied. CISA encourages all organizations to adopt risk-based vulnerability management and prioritize KEV remediation.
Technical Details
- CVE-2026-85706: GitLab CE/EE, path traversal vulnerability.
- The article does not name affected versions, exploitation methods, IOCs or threat actors.
Remediation
- Prioritize remediation of CVE-2026-85706 on GitLab CE/EE instances.
- Consult the GitLab security advisory for affected versions and patches; the CISA alert does not list them.
- Per BOD 26-04, check whether systems were compromised before the patch was applied.
