THE FIX
CISA's instruction: apply the vendor's fix, or stop using the product if no fix exists. The deadline CISA set for US federal agencies, Oct 17, 2026, has passed. It is a US government deadline; use it as a guide.
Questions to ask this week
- Do we run AhsayCBS? If yes, is it patched or cut off from the internet?
- Who owns fixing it, and by what date?
- Have we checked for signs of attack since the first report, not just since the patch?
