Hot Take:

Who knew Cisco’s devices could be a hacker’s playground? It’s like leaving the backdoor open with a sign that says “Welcome, Hackers!” Maybe the next step is to install a “No Trespassing” sign on those firewalls, or better yet, actually patch them properly this time around!

Key Points:

  • CISA warns about critical vulnerabilities in Cisco’s ASA and Firepower devices.
  • Two flaws, CVE-2025-20362 and CVE-2025-20333, are being exploited in the “ArcaneDoor” campaign.
