Attackers Hit Cisco SD-WAN Flaw 2 Months Before Disclosure

Attackers exploited a Cisco SD-WAN vulnerability to gain administrative and root-level access to victim devices using rogue peering techniques, beginning approximately two months before the flaw was publicly disclosed. The attackers leveraged this early window to establish unauthorized access before patches were available. This incident highlights the risk posed by zero-day-like vulnerabilities when disclosure lags behind active exploitation.

Why it matters: If your organization runs Cisco SD-WAN, verify whether your devices were targeted during this window and check for unauthorized administrative access or rogue peering sessions in logs.
