Cisco has warned of two security vulnerabilities affecting end-of-life Small Business RV016, RV042, RV042G, and RV082 routers that it said will not be fixed, even as it acknowledged the public availability of proof-of-concept exploit. The issues are rooted in the router's web-based management interface, enabling a remote adversary to sidestep authentication or execute malicious commands on the underlying operating system.
Cisco has acknowledged one critical and two medium-severity vulnerabilities affecting some of its Small Business series of routers, but won't be fixing them as the devices "Have entered the end-of-life process." Proof-of-concept exploit code for CVE-2023-20025 and CVE-2023-20026 is available online, but there is currently no indication of any of these flaws being exploited by attackers.
Cisco warned customers today of a critical authentication bypass vulnerability with public exploit code affecting multiple end-of-life VPN routers. The security flaw was found in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV016, RV042, RV042G, and RV082 routers by Hou Liuyang of Qihoo 360 Netlab.
Microsoft Office files, particularly Excel and Word files, have been targeted by some cybercriminals for a long time. As exposed in new research from Cisco Talos, threat actors might leverage event handling functions in Excel files in order to automatically launch.
A report released on Tuesday by researchers from Cisco's Talos threat intelligence group dissected one: XLL files in Excel. Microsoft describes XLL files as "a type of dynamic link library file that can only be opened by Excel".
A high-risk stack overflow vulnerability may allow attackers to DoS or possibly even execute code remotely on Cisco 7800 and 8800 Series IP phones, the company has confirmed. Cisco's PSIRT is also aware that proof-of-concept exploit code is available for the vulnerability and that the flaw has been publicly discussed, but they are not aware of active attacks exploiting it.
Cisco has released a new security advisory warning of a high-severity flaw affecting IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series firmware that could be potentially exploited by a remote attacker to cause remote code execution or a denial-of-service condition. The networking equipment major said it's working on a patch to address the vulnerability, which is tracked as CVE-2022-20968 and stems from a case of insufficient input validation of received Cisco Discovery Protocol packets.

Cisco says miscreants are exploiting two vulnerabilities in its AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows, which is supposed to ensure safe VPN access for remote workers. One of the pair of flaws, tracked as CVE-2020-3433, is a privilege-escalation issue: an authenticated, local user can exploit AnyConnect to execute code with SYSTEM-level privileges.
