Cisco won’t fix router flaws even though PoC exploit is available (CVE-2023-20025, CVE-2023-20026)

January 12, 2023

Cisco has acknowledged one critical (CVE-2023-20025) and two medium-severity (CVE-2023-20026, CVE-2023-20045) vulnerabilities affecting some of its Small Business series of routers, but won’t be fixing them as the devices “have entered the end-of-life process.”

Proof-of-concept exploit code for CVE-2023-20025 and CVE-2023-20026 is available online, but there is currently no indication of any of these flaws being exploited by attackers.
