Cisco warned admins today of a new and maximum severity zero-day vulnerability in its IOS XE Software that can let attackers gain full administrator privileges and take complete control of affected routers.

"Cisco has identified active exploitation of a previously unknown vulnerability in the Web User Interface feature of Cisco IOS XE software when exposed to the internet or untrusted networks," the company revealed today.

Cisco identified related activity dating back to September 18 following further investigation into the attacks.
