Hot Take:

Well, buckle up buttercup, because your Nexus switch might just be the star of its own spy thriller—starring a moderate-severity villain with a penchant for command injections. Cisco's latest "patch me if you can" drama features a vulnerability exploited by the cyber equivalent of a secret agent group named Velvet Ant, who clearly don't need a high severity score to throw a malware party in your network's backend. So, if you're feeling lucky, maybe skip the patch and roll the dice on your switch security—or, you know, don't.
