Cisco released fixes for nine vulnerabilities across its Crosswork network-automation platforms and Secure Workload software, five of them rated 10.0. Four affect Crosswork Data Gateway, Network Controller, and Planning regardless of configuration, and include a SQL injection flaw, a missing-authentication flaw, and external control of the file system, each scored 10.0, plus an insufficiently protected credentials issue at 9.9. Five more affect Secure Workload in both cloud and on-premises deployments, led by a 10.0 improper access control flaw and a 9.9 command-injection flaw. Cisco found them in internal testing using AI models and says none are exploited yet, but there are no workarounds, so patching is the only fix.
Cisco has patched a maximum-severity flaw, CVE-2026-20223, in the internal REST APIs of Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration), the zero-trust microsegmentation platform used to stop lateral movement in enterprise environments. Insufficient authentication on the affected endpoints lets an unauthenticated remote attacker craft a request that returns sensitive data and modifies configuration with Site Admin privileges across tenant boundaries. Cisco's PSIRT says there is no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation yet and no workaround exists. The on-prem fixed releases are 3.10.8.3 and 4.0.3.17; the SaaS deployment has already been patched. Sites running 3.9 or earlier must migrate to a fixed release.
