CISA adds exploited WSO2 authentication-bypass flaw CVE-2026-5430 to the KEV catalog

CISA has added a WSO2 software flaw to its list of vulnerabilities that attackers are already using in real-world attacks. The issue, CVE-2026-5430, is an authentication-bypass bug affecting WSO2 API Manager and related products, meaning attackers can get past login protections and access sensitive systems without valid credentials if organizations have not patched.
Why it matters: Organizations using affected WSO2 products should treat this as urgent because it means attackers may already be targeting exposed systems. Patch immediately, review internet exposure, and check logs for suspicious access.
