Hot Take:

Oh Cisco, can’t you just “spam” away those vulnerabilities? Looks like someone left the email gate wide open, and the hackers just walked right in. If only securing your network was as easy as hitting “unsubscribe.” Until they patch this hole, SEG and SEWM users might want to consider some good old-fashioned carrier pigeons for secure communication!

Key Points:

  • A zero-day vulnerability is affecting Cisco SEG and SEWM appliances with non-standard configurations.
  • The flaw is being exploited by a Chinese threat group known as UAT-9686.
  • Malicious tools like AquaShell, AquaTunnel, and Chisel are being deployed in these attacks.
  • Cisco recommends restricting access and monitoring for unusual activity until a patch is released.
  • Restoring compromised appliances to a secure configuration may require rebuilding them.
