Cisco’s Double Trouble: Critical Vulnerabilities Expose Unified CCX to Remote Attacks!

Cisco has discovered vulnerabilities that are as friendly as a porcupine in a balloon factory. The Cisco Unified CCX vulnerabilities could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands and bypass authentication. Cisco advises updating software to avoid unwelcome surprises, as workarounds are as non-existent as a unicorn at a horse race.

Hot Take:

Looks like Cisco’s Unified CCX took a page out of the “How to Make Security Professionals Sweat” playbook. With remote code execution and authentication bypass vulnerabilities, they’re giving hackers a two-for-one special. If only they could be this generous with security patches!

Key Points:

  • Cisco’s Unified CCX has two critical vulnerabilities: remote code execution and authentication bypass.
  • The vulnerabilities are not interdependent; each can be exploited independently.
  • CVE-2025-20354 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute commands with root permissions.
  • CVE-2025-20358 lets attackers bypass authentication to gain script execution privileges.
  • Both vulnerabilities have received critical security ratings and have no workarounds.
