Cisco Firewall Auth Bypass Actively Exploited — Patch Your Perimeter Now

THE THREE

  1. #1 · CVE-2026-20079

    Cisco

    KEV

    What: If your organization uses Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center or Cisco Security Cloud Control, an attacker can bypass login entirely — no credentials needed — and potentially take over your firewall management plane, exposing your entire network. With an 88% exploit probability and active exploitation confirmed, this is as dangerous as it gets.

    Why it moved: Actively exploited · Widely deployed · Critical severity · 88% exploit odds

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Apply Cisco's patch for FMC/SCC immediately; isolate management interfaces now.

  2. #2 · CVE-2026-8037

    Progress

    KEV

    What: Progress LoadMaster is a popular load balancer, and this flaw lets an unauthenticated attacker run any command on the appliance — meaning full device compromise and a foothold into your internal network. It has been actively exploited for over six weeks.

    Why it moved: Actively exploited · Widely deployed · Critical severity · 77% exploit odds

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Patch Progress LoadMaster to the latest fixed version without delay.

  3. #3 · CVE-2026-85046

    Chrome

    KEV

    What: This Chrome vulnerability lets an attacker run malicious code in your browser just by getting a user to visit a crafted webpage — a classic drive-by attack that can lead to credential theft or malware installation on any workstation running an unpatched version. Chrome is nearly universal, so your exposure is very wide.

    Why it moved: Actively exploited · Everyone runs this

    Who is exploiting: Actively-exploited (CISA KEV)

    Action · Force-update all Chrome browsers to version 152.0.7977.82 or later today.
