⌖ EXPLOITED IN THE WILD SHAME 65/100 exploited-in-wildunpatched

Cisco ASA/FTD devices have an unpatched heap inspection vulnerability allowing remote denial of service.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause Cisco ASA and FTD firewalls to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service. This is a known, actively exploited vulnerability (KEV) that DIB organizations must urgently patch to prevent network outages and maintain compliance with security baselines.

Shame score — The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and affects critical network infrastructure, yet remains unpatched for many devices, demonstrating a failure in timely patch management.

▸ RECOMMENDED ACTION  Actively exploited (CISA KEV) — remediate now, ahead of your normal patch cycle.
