Federal agencies must remediate by June 28; private sector exposure remains high given Windchill's prevalence in defense primes and heavy machinery. Procurement records show continued federal purchases of unpatched Windchill instances through Q2 2025, suggesting remediation lag will persist beyond the CISA deadline.

⚡ Prediction

CISA: 10+ additional Windchill compromise reports filed by July 15
