Abstract’s ASTRO research team has just published a blog entitled: Critical Cisco Vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-20079 and CVE-2026-20131 Affecting Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center.
Earlier today, Cisco published several security advisories addressing vulnerabilities across its Secure Firewall product line. Two of these are rated critical with a CVSS score of 10.0 and affect Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC). Both can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers to execute code on an affected device and obtain root access to the underlying operating system. Cisco has released software updates to address these vulnerabilities. Currently there are no workarounds for either vulnerability, making patching the only path to remediation. At the time of publishing, Cisco PSIRT is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of these vulnerabilities.
This post covers the critical vulnerabilities in detail, along with a summary of additional high-severity issues disclosed in the same advisory bundle. Abstract also offers recommendations for immediate actions to take plus detection and monitoring bullets.
