CISA KEV Adds 40 Flaws — BeyondTrust, Fortinet, Atlassian Deadlines Hit This Week

// Summary

CISA logged 40 catalog additions in the trailing month, with three carrying remediation deadlines landing today or tomorrow: an Atlassian multi-product exposure flaw (due today), plus BeyondTrust Remote Support and a Fortinet path traversal bug (both due tomorrow). The bulk of the batch — including several legacy/EoL entries dating back to 2015 — already has lapsed BOD 26-04 deadlines; treat those as emergency backlog patching, not routine maintenance.
