Cisco Chaos: Patch or Risk a Root Awakening!
CISA’s added three new vulnerabilities to their KEV catalog. Two involve Cisco Identity Services Engine Software, allowing attackers to achieve root privileges with a simple API request. With a CVSS score of 10, consider these flaws the cybersecurity equivalent of a flaming meteor. Patches are out, so update before August 18!
Hot Take:
Who knew a few lines of code could turn reality into a hacker’s playground? With Cisco’s ISE platform vulnerabilities, it seems like hackers are getting free VIP access to the party! And with cyber threats evolving faster than a chameleon at a disco, it’s time for IT teams to patch up or pack up. So, grab those patches, folks, because this is one vulnerability you don’t want to miss exploiting… I mean, fixing!
Key Points:
- Two critical vulnerabilities were found in Cisco ISE Software.
- Vulnerabilities allow remote code execution as root by unauthenticated attackers.
- Impacted versions include 3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, 3.4.0, and more.
- Cisco has released patches; no workaround other than applying them.
- CISA requires fixes by August 18; third vulnerability affects PaperCut software.
