Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN flaw exposes enterprise networks to hackers

Cisco has warned that hackers have been exploiting a critical bug in its Catalyst SD-WAN products to break into large enterprise networks for at least three years. The vulnerability has a maximum-rated severity score of 10.0 and enables attackers to remotely access devices, potentially giving them the highest level of permissions and the ability to maintain persistent, hidden access to a victim’s network.
