The flaw happens because of a improper system process that starts when the device boots up. It can be taken advantage of by sending special HTTP requests to the device’s web interface.
The weakness impacts Cisco Secure FMC Software and Cisco Security Cloud Control Firewall Management. Cisco states it has already fixed the cloud-hosted Security Cloud Control service.
Cisco says there are no fixes and suggests that customers update to the newest software version.
Cisco advises customers who see signs of compromise to reach out to its TAC for help. They warn that installing the hot fixes will stop future attacks but won’t fix devices that are already affected.
