Active Exploitation Triggers Emergency Patch for Cisco ISE Zero-Day

Cisco urgently patched actively exploited zero-day CVE-2026-76460 (CVSS 10.0), an ISE authentication bypass enabling root command execution; CISA added it to KEV.

Cisco released emergency patches for CVE-2026-76460 (CVSS 10.0), a zero-day authentication bypass in an API endpoint of Identity Services Engine (ISE) and ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC), and confirmed active exploitation in the wild. Successful exploitation lets attackers bypass the web-based management interface and execute commands with root privileges, allowing them to hide or delete indicators of compromise. Fixed releases are ISE/ISE-PIC 3.5 Patch 4, 3.4 Patch 7, 3.3 Patch 12, 3.2 Patch 11, and 3.1 Patch 12; no workarounds exist beyond restricting traffic with infrastructure ACLs. CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, giving US federal agencies three days to patch under BOD 26-04.
