Yes, they made my news feeds again today.

Since Cisco keeps being so popular with the security breaches and vulnerabilities, I figured it's time they get their very own thread.

I've been lying down on the job apparently. 4 sets of hardcore credentials removed in the past 4 months. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/cisco-removes-backdoor-account-fourth-in-the-last-four-months/

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.
