Cisco ASA and FTD Flaw Exploited in the Wild Can Trigger Remote DoS

Cisco warns actively exploited flaw CVE-2026-20349 lets unauthenticated attackers crash ASA and FTD firewalls via SSL VPN; CISA added it to KEV.

Cisco fixed CVE-2026-20349 (CVSS 8.6) in Secure Firewall ASA and FTD software, insufficient error checking in HTTP request processing that lets unauthenticated remote attackers force device reloads via crafted requests to the Remote Access SSL VPN service. Hotfixes cover ASA 9.16 through 9.24 and FTD 7.0 through 10.0, and there are no workarounds; Cisco confirmed active exploitation earlier in August but did not name the actor or targets. The flaw was found during internal security testing. CISA added it to the KEV catalog, requiring federal civilian agencies to patch by August 14, 2026.
