  • Authentication bypass to root access in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center
    CVE-2026-20079 is an authentication bypass (CWE-288) in the web interface of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software, caused by an improper system process created at boot time. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit it by sending crafted HTTP requests to the FMC web interface, which allows the execution of script files and commands on the device. A successful exploit grants the attacker root access to the underlying operating system, giving full control of the management platform (CVSS 3.1: 10.0, network-exploitable, no privileges or user interaction required, scope changed). The flaw affects Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) and Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Management deployments. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability is being exploited in active attacks, it carries a 35.9% EPSS score (98th percentile), and CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-09-09.

  • Unauthenticated Java Deserialization RCE in Cisco FMC and SCC
    CVE-2026-20131 is a deserialization of untrusted data flaw (CWE-502) in the web-based management interface of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software and Cisco Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Management. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can trigger it by sending crafted serialized data to the exposed management interface. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary Java code as root on the affected device, giving full control of the central platform that manages Cisco firewall policy. Any organization running FMC or managing firewalls through SCC is potentially affected; specific version ranges have not yet been published in the available data. The flaw was added to CISA KEV on 2026-03-19 with known ransomware use, and EPSS assigns a ~31% probability of exploitation within 30 days (98th percentile), though no public proof-of-concept is known.
