Cisco’s Cloudy Day: ISE Vulnerability Puts Security in the Spotlight!
Cisco has patched three vulnerabilities in its Identity Services Engine and Customer Collaboration Platform. The most severe, CVE-2025-20286, allows attackers to exploit static credentials in cloud deployments. But no worries, if you like living on the edge, just don’t patch anything and hope your data gets along with its new friends!
Hot Take:
**_Cisco’s Identity Services Engine has a vulnerability that might as well come with a neon sign saying “Hack me!” But fear not, they’ve released patches faster than you can say “cloudy with a chance of data breach.”_**
Key Points:
– Cisco has issued patches for three vulnerabilities, the most critical being CVE-2025-20286.
– The vulnerability affects Cisco ISE deployments on cloud platforms, allowing unauthorized access.
– Only cloud deployments with a Primary Administration node are vulnerable, not on-premises setups.
– Two additional flaws (CVE-2025-20130 and CVE-2025-20129) in Cisco ISE and CCP were also addressed.
– Admins are advised to apply hotfixes or perform a reset-config command with caution.
