"The bug, which has a maximum-rated vulnerability severity score of 10.0, allows hackers to remotely break into networks running its Catalyst SD-WAN products, which allow large companies and government agencies with multiple offices to connect their private networks over long distances."
"By exploiting this bug over the internet, hackers can gain the highest level of permissions to these devices and maintain persistent hidden access inside a victim's network, allowing them to spy or steal data over a long period of time."
"Cisco said after discovering the bug, its researchers traced evidence of exploitation as far back as 2023."
Cisco identified a critical vulnerability with a maximum severity score of 10.0 in its Catalyst SD-WAN products used by large enterprises and government agencies. Hackers have exploited this bug for at least three years, with evidence of exploitation traced back to 2023. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to gain the highest level of permissions on affected devices and establish persistent hidden access within victim networks. This enables attackers to conduct espionage and data theft over extended periods. The U.S. government and allied nations have urged organizations to take immediate action to address this threat.
