12 Aug 2026, 2:15 PM	The Hacker News	3.0	Cisco ASA and FTD Flaw Exploited in the Wild Can Trigger Remote DoS Cisco has confirmed active exploitation of CVE-2026-20349 (CVSS 8.6), a high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability in Secure Firewall ASA and FTD Software. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to the Remote Access SSL VPN service on affected devices, causing them to reload. The flaw stems from insufficient error checking when processing HTTP requests and affects devices with IKEv2 Remote Access VPN, SSL-VPN, or Zero Trust Network Access enabled across ASA versions 9.16 through 9.24 and FTD versions 7.0 through 7.6. Why: If your organization runs Cisco ASA or FTD firewalls with SSL VPN, IKEv2 Remote Access VPN, or Zero Trust Network Access enabled, you should patch to the fixed versions listed in the advisory immediately—this is being actively exploited. If you don't manage Cisco firewall appliances directly, this has no actionable impact on your work. security cisco firewall dos vpn
