Cisco firewall auth bypass and three near-certain exploits demand immediate patching.

THE THREE

  1. #1 · CVE-2026-20079

    Cisco

    KEV

    What: If your organization uses Cisco Firewall Management Center or Security Cloud Control, an attacker on the internet can bypass your login entirely — no credentials needed — and take control of your firewall management plane, exposing your entire network. This is actively exploited with a 76% exploit probability and a perfect CVSS 10.

    Why it moved: Actively exploited · Widely deployed · Critical severity · 76% exploit odds

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Apply Cisco's patch for FMC and SCC immediately, prioritize over other work.

  2. #2 · CVE-2026-33824

    Microsoft

    KEV

    What: A flaw in Windows' IKE (VPN/IPsec) service lets a remote attacker run their own code on your Windows machines without being logged in — a ransomware or takeover scenario affecting virtually every Windows environment. Actively exploited with 73% exploit odds.

    Why it moved: Actively exploited · Everyone runs this · Critical severity · 73% exploit odds

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Deploy the Microsoft patch for the IKE service on all Windows systems now.

  3. #3 · CVE-2026-8037

    Progress

    KEV

    What: Progress LoadMaster (a popular load balancer) has a command injection flaw that attackers are exploiting at near-certainty — EPSS sits at 99.6% — letting anyone on the internet run commands on your appliance with no login required. Full network compromise is the likely outcome.

    Why it moved: Actively exploited · Widely deployed · Critical severity · 100% exploit odds

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Patch or isolate every Progress LoadMaster appliance from public internet access immediately.
