Just saw this today. Announced last week and actively being exploited. A directory traversal which leads to sensitive system information being disclosed or the device crashing.

Brilliant I tell you. An undocumented root level password left in the management layer.

All your network are belong to us.

Literally just reading about this one.
9.8 out of 10
"fifth undocumented password (aka backdoor) that Cisco has removed from its software in the past 5 months."
'Undocumented except by the fbi and nsa' I think is what they meant.

And in hacker documents the world over.

Definitely showing that even becoming famous for having hard coded creds, they won't change any till caught and forced to change them.

I mean the people that buy Cisco probably don't care too much.

Good point. Or at all.

A bumper night last night for Cisco. Not one, not two, but three privilege escalation and remote command execution threats announced.

I saw that headline, but didn't read the article. I'm not surprised that Cisco is one of the vulnerable brands.

"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software Denial of Service Vulnerability"

Only a denial of service possibility. Did I forget to mention it's in the software that is supposed to prevent that sort of thing?

Wi-Fi access points sold by Cisco, Meraki, and Aruba have two critical vulnerabilities being patched that could allow hackers to run malware inside the sensitive networks that use the gear. While the flaws open corporate networks to some scary attacks, the real-world likelihood of them being exploited is debatable.
