Evidence used

  • CISA confirms exploitation in the wild.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 0.82% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Cross-source reconciliation

Remediation availability differs by product scope

Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 1,529 structured product or package states remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.

EUVD-2026-112462

CISA KEV mirrored by ENISA

A vulnerability in the Remote Access SSL VPN service of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. This vulnerability is due to logic errors when secondary authentication is configured on a tunnel group. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request when connecting to the SSL remote access VPN. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the affected device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.

Fix availability varies by product
01

What, why and how

Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software contains an unchecked return value to NULL pointer dereference vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

What

Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software contains an unchecked return value to NULL pointer dereference vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Why

The product does not check for an error after calling a function that can return with a NULL pointer if the function fails, which leads to a resultant NULL pointer dereference.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.

Official advisory ↗
NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2026-0463Kwetsbaarheid verholpen in Cisco Secure Firewall ASA en FTD Software

Cisco bevestigt dat de kwetsbaarheid actief wordt misbruikt. Deze kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2026-76418 heeft een CVSS-score van 8.6 en bevindt zich in de Remote Access SSL VPN-functionaliteit. Een niet-geauthenticeerde kwaadwillende kan de kwetsbaarheid op afstand misbruiken door een speciaal vervaardigd verzoek naar de VPN-dienst te versturen. Hierdoor kan het getroffen apparaat onverwacht herstarten, wat kan leiden tot een Denial-of-Service (DoS) en verstoring van de dienstverlening. Voor succesvol misbruik moet de SSL VPN-dienst bereikbaar zijn en secundaire authenticatie zijn geconfigureerd voor een VPN-tunnelgroep. Een succesvolle VPN-aanmelding is niet vereist.
