Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance and Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software IKEv2 Certificate Authentication Denial of Service Vulnerability

Cisco Security Advisories - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 4:00pm

A vulnerability in the certification authentication feature of Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) for Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly.

This vulnerability is due to a logic error during the certificate authentication phase of the IKEv2 connection setup. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting to establish an IKEv2 VPN connection with a crafted certificate. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the IKEv2 process to crash, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco Identity Services Engine SQL and HQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Cisco Security Advisories - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 4:00pm

Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL or HQL injection attacks on an affected device.

These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input to the affected APIs before it is used to build database queries. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a crafted request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL or HQL queries against the underlying database, which could allow the attacker to view or modify data that they are not authorized to access. To exploit these vulnerabilities, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials. 

Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.

Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software sftunnel Root Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability

Cisco Security Advisories - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 4:00pm

A vulnerability in the sftunnel inter-device communication protocol of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root.

This vulnerability exists because a registered sftunnel peer has incorrect permissions to write an arbitrary file to any location on the device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by hijacking the sftunnel communication connection or being a valid registered sftunnel peer and sending an sftunnel command to write a malicious file to the disk of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to write a file to the device that is executed with root privileges. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid user credentials on the affected device.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Cisco Identity Services Engine Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Cisco Security Advisories - Wed, 09/16/2026 - 4:00pm

A vulnerability in the API of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive information on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.

This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied parameters in API requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted API request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information, including hashed credentials that could be used in future attacks.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
