Cisco confirmed that CVE-2026-20079, a maximum-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Secure Firewall Management Center, is being actively exploited in attacks. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute commands as root on vulnerable systems. Cisco first disclosed the flaw in March with no evidence of active exploitation, but updated its advisory in August after the company became aware of ongoing attacks.
Why it matters: Organizations running Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center face immediate risk of complete system compromise; patch or mitigate CVE-2026-20079 urgently as exploitation is confirmed in the wild.
