U.S. CISA adds Metabase, Windows, and Cisco Secure Firewall flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

CISA adds three actively exploited flaws—Cisco ASA/FTD DoS, Windows Winsock SYSTEM-level UAF, and Metabase SQL injection—to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

CISA added CVE-2026-20349 (CVSS 8.6, heap inspection flaw crashing Cisco ASA/FTD via crafted HTTP requests to the Remote Access SSL VPN service), CVE-2026-68820 (CVSS 7.0, use-after-free in the Windows afd.sys Winsock driver allowing SYSTEM-privilege code execution, actively exploited per Microsoft) and CVE-2026-72898 (CVSS 10.0, unauthenticated SQL injection in Metabase) to the KEV catalog. Metabase disclosed its cloud service was attacked with the 0-day, giving the intruder a path to administrator rights and stored credentials for connected databases; cloud instances were patched while self-hosted deployments need urgent updates. Under BOD 22-01, federal civilian agencies must patch by August 14, 2026, except CVE-2026-68820, due August 25.

China's 'Fire Ant' campaign used compromised Cisco routers as platform for more attacks

Sygnia links the China-nexus Fire Ant campaign to UNC3886, showing hackers weaponized compromised Cisco IOS XR routers for espionage and wider intrusions.

Sygnia's Fire Ant report details Chinese hackers compromising Cisco IOS XR routers, TACACS+ authentication servers and management infrastructure to capture traffic, harvest credentials and stage attacks on high-value and critical infrastructure networks. The group, which overlaps with Mandiant's UNC3886, developed custom router malware for persistence, hid logs, deleted files and tampered with firewall rules, and remained active in 2026 after Sygnia's 2025 disclosure. The activity aligns with prior Chinese campaigns against Cisco devices, including Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon operations.
