CISA warned U.S. federal agencies to fully patch two actively exploited vulnerabilities in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) and Firepower devices.

Tracked as CVE-2025-20362 and CVE-2025-20333, these security flaws allow remote threat actors to access restricted URL endpoints without authentication and gain code execution on vulnerable Cisco firewall devices, respectively. If chained, they can enable unauthenticated attackers to gain complete control of unpatched devices remotely.

When it patched the two flaws in September, Cisco cautioned customers that they had been exploited as zero-days in attacks targeting 5500-X Series devices with VPN web services enabled. The company also linked these attacks to the ArcaneDoor campaign, which has exploited two other zero-day bugs (CVE-2024-20353 and CVE-2024-20359) to breach government networks since November 2023.
