Cisco Firewall Flaw Grants Root Access — Patch Immediately, No Login Needed

THE THREE

  1. #1 · CVE-2026-20079

    Cisco

    KEV

    What: If your organization uses Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center, an attacker anywhere on the internet can bypass the login screen entirely and get root-level control of your firewall — no username, no password required. This is as bad as it gets: CVSS 10.0, actively exploited, 76% exploit odds.

    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 Software right now — no exceptions.

  2. #2 · CVE-2026-33824

    Microsoft

    KEV

    What: A memory-corruption flaw in Microsoft's IKE Service (used in Windows VPN and IPsec connections) can let a remote attacker run code on your systems with no user interaction needed. This affects nearly every Windows environment and is actively being exploited.

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

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Apply the Microsoft patch for CVE-2026-33824 via Windows Update today.

  3. #3 · CVE-2026-8037

    Progress

    KEV

    What: Progress LoadMaster (a popular load-balancer appliance) has a command-injection flaw with essentially 100% exploit probability — automated attack tools are almost certainly scanning for it right now. A successful hit gives attackers arbitrary command execution on your network appliance, a prime pivot point.

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

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Update Progress LoadMaster to the patched version immediately and check for indicators of compromise.
