Cisco Routers in Hot Water: IKEv1 VPN Vulnerability Alert!
Cisco’s latest vulnerability is a wake-up call for routers running Cisco IOS XE Software with IKEv1 VPN enabled. If your network’s security is relying on Dynamic Multipoint or Remote Access IPsec VPN, it might be time to panic—just a little. Check for open UDP ports 500 or 4500; if they’re open, it’s not just your fridge that’s running.
Key Points:
- Vulnerability affects Cisco products with IKEv1 VPN enabled.
- Specific models include 1000 and 4000 Series ISRs, and various Catalyst Edge Platforms.
- Features like DMVPN, RAVPN, and S2S VPN are vulnerable if using IKEv1.
- UDP port 500 or 4500 indicates IKE processing, crucial for identifying vulnerability exposure.
- Determine IKEv1 usage via the crypto map command; no IKEv2 Profile means vulnerability.
