TL;DR

Cisco warns of a critical authentication-bypass vulnerability in Catalyst SD-WAN (CVE-2026-20127) that attackers actively exploited since 2023 to log in as a high-privilege user, insert rogue peers, and potentially gain root access. Government advisories (CISA and UK NCSC) issued urgent directives; Cisco released updates but says no workaround fully mitigates the issue. Organizations should harden exposed interfaces, review logs for anomalous peering, and patch promptly.
