common questions

Is CVE-2026-1773 being exploited?

Not confirmed. CVE-2026-1773 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked. EPSS currently estimates a 0.41% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.

How severe is CVE-2026-1773?

CVE-2026-1773 is rated High. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.

Is there a patch for CVE-2026-1773?

Yes. A fix has been recorded for CVE-2026-1773. The vendor advisory is the authority on the exact fixed version — apply it from there rather than from a summary.

What does CVE-2026-1773 affect?

CVE-2026-1773 affects IEC 60870-5-104 bidirectional implementations (ICS/SCADA). Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.

What should I do about CVE-2026-1773?
