Cisco patches critical SD-WAN and IOS XE flaws with no available workarounds

Cisco released fixes for twelve flaws in Catalyst SD-WAN and IOS XE software, including three rated 9.9 and a command-injection issue rated 9.8. The three critical SD-WAN flaws, CVE-2026-20303, CVE-2026-20304, and CVE-2026-20310, stem from improper input validation, access control, and file-path handling in software that centrally controls a network. Cisco found them through internal testing that included frontier AI models and is not aware of exploitation, but there are no workarounds, so patching is the only remediation. Cisco also patched a management-controller flaw with public exploit code that lets a low-privileged user reach root.

Check
Upgrade Catalyst SD-WAN and IOS XE to the fixed releases Cisco lists, since there are no workarounds, and prioritize the management-controller flaw that already has public exploit code.
Affected
Organizations running affected Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN or IOS XE (CVE-2026-20303, CVE-2026-20304, CVE-2026-20310); the flaws affect software that centrally controls the network, and no workarounds exist.
Fix
Apply Cisco's fixed software, restrict access to network management interfaces, and treat the management-controller flaw with public proof-of-concept code as a priority since it reaches root.

Ubiquiti patches 25 UniFi flaws, including unauthenticated command injection on devices

Ubiquiti has released fixes for 25 vulnerabilities across its UniFi ecosystem, including several critical flaws that let a network-based attacker fully compromise devices. The most severe, CVE-2026-50746 rated 10.0, is an improper access-control bug in the UniFi Connect application that allows unauthenticated command injection on the host. Others rated 9.9, spanning UniFi Talk, Access, Protect, and UniFi OS, include SQL injection, command injection, and server-side request forgery that lead to privilege escalation, and some can be chained to bypass authentication requirements. The flaws affect widely deployed gateways and consoles like the UDM family. Ubiquiti lists no interim workarounds, so updating each affected product to its fixed version is the only mitigation.

Check
Inventory UniFi Connect, Talk, Access, Protect, Network Application, and UniFi OS devices, including UDM gateways and consoles, confirm their versions against Ubiquiti's advisory, and check which are reachable by untrusted users.
Affected
UniFi Connect, Talk, Access, Protect, and UniFi OS devices on affected versions (CVE-2026-50746 and others); network-based attackers can inject commands, escalate privileges, or bypass authentication, with no workarounds available.
Fix
Update each affected UniFi product to the fixed version in Ubiquiti's advisory, prioritize devices reachable by untrusted networks, and review UniFi logs for unexpected configuration changes, new accounts, or unusual outbound traffic.

Ubiquiti patches three max-severity UniFi OS flaws (CVE-2026-34908/34909/34910) plus two more - ~100K endpoints exposed online

Ubiquiti has shipped patches for five UniFi OS vulnerabilities, three of which are CVSS-maximum and exploitable by remote unauthenticated attackers. CVE-2026-34908 is an improper access control that lets attackers make unauthorized changes; CVE-2026-34909 is a path traversal that reaches an underlying system account; CVE-2026-34910 is an unauthenticated command injection. Two additional flaws (CVE-2026-33000, a critical command injection, and CVE-2026-34911, a high-severity info disclosure) were also patched. All five came through Ubiquiti's HackerOne program. Censys is tracking close to 100,000 internet-exposed UniFi OS endpoints, around 50,000 of them in the US. Ubiquiti products were previously hijacked into the GRU-operated Moobot botnet.

Check
Inventory UniFi OS devices (Dream Machine, Cloud Key, UNVR, UCG) and their firmware version. Censys-check your egress IPs for exposed UniFi web interfaces and management ports.
Affected
All UniFi OS Consoles (Dream Machine, Cloud Key, UNVR, UCG) before the May 22 patches. Roughly 100,000 internet-exposed endpoints worldwide, with about 50,000 in the United States.
Fix
Apply Ubiquiti's UniFi OS updates immediately via the Network app or controller. Move management interfaces off the public internet. Restrict admin access to a management VLAN behind VPN.
