Patch Analysis & Exploitation Timeline: Critical WSO2 and Adobe Flaws Show 1-Day vs. 133-Day Exploitation Window , September 24, 2026 KEV Additions

Two critical vulnerabilities added to CISA KEV on September 24, 2026 reveal sharply different exploitation timelines. CVE-2026-71362 saw publicly documented exploitation roughly one day after Adobe's patch release, while CVE-2026-5430 had a 133-day vendor-remediation-to-observed-exploitation interval.
