Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center had two critical vulnerabilities exploited by ransomware groups and Russian state-sponsored hackers to execute ransomware, steal credentials, and maintain persistent network access. Cisco has issued patches and urges immediate installation to prevent ongoing exploitation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity and Security Infrastructure, and 3 sources have reported it between 10 Sep 2026 and 12 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prioritise patching Cisco FMC devices immediately or face serious exposure to ransomware and nation-state attacks that bypass authentication and steal credentials. This breach exposes your network tools as a direct attack vector and urgent fix is your only defence.
