  A review of recent results from searches for new physics is presented. The
analyses exploit data sets collected by the CMS experiment during Run 2 of the
CERN LHC. Searches for exotic particles decaying into two bosons and for heavy
neutral leptons, as well as a model-agnostic search based on anomaly detection
are summarised. No significant sign for the presence of new physics was found.
Prospects for the CMS parking strategy during Run 3 are also discussed.
