The below vulnerabilities have been identified by WaterISAC analysts as important for water and wastewater utilities to prioritize in their vulnerability management efforts. WaterISAC shares critical vulnerabilities that affect widely used products and may be under active exploitation. WaterISAC draws additional awareness in alerts and advisories when vulnerabilities are confirmed to be impacting, or have a high likelihood of impacting, water and wastewater utilities. Members are encouraged to regularly review these vulnerabilities, many of which are often included in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog.

n8n Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
CVSS v3.1: 10.0
CVE: CVE-2026-21858
Description: n8n is an open source workflow automation platform. Versions below 1.121.0 enable an attacker to access files on the underlying server through execution of certain form-based workflows. A vulnerable workflow could grant access to an unauthenticated remote attacker, resulting in exposure of sensitive information stored on the system and may enable further compromise depending on deployment configuration and workflow usage. This issue is fixed in version 1.121.0.

D-Link OS Command Injection Vulnerability
CVSS v4.0: 9.3
CVE: CVE-2026-0625
Description: Multiple D-Link DSL gateway devices contain a command injection vulnerability in the dnscfg.cgi endpoint due to improper sanitization of user-supplied DNS configuration parameters. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary shell commands, resulting in remote code execution. The affected endpoint is also associated with unauthenticated DNS modification (“DNSChanger”) behavior documented by D-Link, which reported active exploitation campaigns targeting firmware variants of the DSL-2740R, DSL-2640B, DSL-2780B, and DSL-526B models from 2016 through 2019. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-11-27 (UTC). Affected devices were declared end-of-life/end-of-service in early 2020.

Microsoft Office PowerPoint Code Injection Vulnerability
CVSS 2.0: 9.3
CVEs: CVE-2009-0556
Description: Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 2003 SP3, and PowerPoint in Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PowerPoint file with an OutlineTextRefAtom containing an an invalid index value that triggers memory corruption, as exploited in the wild in April 2009 by Exploit:Win32/Apptom.gen, aka “Memory Corruption Vulnerability.” CISA has added this vulnerability to its KEV catalog

Cisco Identity Service Engine Vulnerability
CVSS v3.1: 4.9
CVE: CVE-2026-20029
Description: A vulnerability in the licensing features of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative privileges to gain access to sensitive information. This vulnerability is due to improper parsing of XML that is processed by the web-based management interface of Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious file to the application. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system that could include sensitive data that should otherwise be inaccessible even to administrators. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.
