Both bugs leak sensitive information rather than hand over code execution, and both have vendor fixes. Federal agencies have until November 24 to patch.
Rapid7's weekly wrapup lists a new module for the unauthenticated NetScaler bug that Citrix said was exploited before disclosure, alongside modules for Cisco Secure Email Gateway and GitLab.
Cisco Talos describes a Windows infostealer that adds model-driven analysis to stolen credentials, sessions and other information collected from a victim.
The critical GitLab CE/EE bug lets an unauthenticated user run code on the server through a crafted regular expression in a CI/CD configuration. Federal agencies face a November 1 remediation deadline.
Talos says attackers used a critical Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN flaw, fixed in February, to plant custom malware that copies site-to-site encryption keys. The vendor calls the attacks historical but gives no timeline.
Researchers say UAT-11473 used an authentication-bypass flaw Cisco patched in February 2026 to plant a framework that intercepts control-plane traffic and lifts keying material.
Cisco says attackers have been exploiting an unauthenticated denial-of-service bug in the Remote Access SSL VPN service of its Secure Firewall ASA and FTD software. Fixes are out, and no workarounds exist.
Cisco says it found evidence the flaw was exploited in the wild. Devices with the webvpn keyword and SSL VPN enabled on an interface are affected, and admins who can't patch yet have a mitigation.
Talos says UAT-11473 used a critical Cisco SD-WAN flaw to plant the KeyDrift framework on controllers. Lumen's Black Lotus Labs published research the same day on the Silent Train network.
Black Lotus Labs says the Chinese state-linked group chained compromised routers and modems to mask attacks on edge and management systems, then wiped its tooling after each operation.
Cisco's October round covers Expressway Series, IOS XR, Snort 3 and Unified Communications, plus a local privilege escalation in Secure Client's Secure Firewall Posture module.
