Patch Panic: Cisco Firewall Flaws Leave Federal Agencies Vulnerable!
CISA urgently warns U.S. federal agencies to patch Cisco firewall devices against CVE-2025-20362 and CVE-2025-20333 vulnerabilities, or risk becoming the cybersecurity equivalent of Swiss cheese. With over 30,000 devices still vulnerable, the race is on to avoid being the next headline in a hacker’s success story.
Hot Take:
Looks like the cybersecurity equivalent of “I thought I locked the door” has struck again! CISA is basically saying, “Hey, federal agencies, it’s time to stop living on the edge — of being hacked!” You’d think with all this tech, they’d remember to hit the “update” button more often.
Key Points:
- CISA warns U.S. federal agencies to patch critical vulnerabilities in Cisco devices.
- Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-20362 and CVE-2025-20333) are being actively exploited.
- Some agencies failed to fully patch, leaving networks exposed to attacks.
- Emergency Directive 25-03 demands immediate action within 24 hours.
- CISA also orders patches for Samsung and WatchGuard devices on other vulnerabilities.
