Daily Cyber News: Telecom systems face active attacks on sensitive configurations

Telecom and hosted communications environments face active attacks through Cisco BroadWorks. The weakness allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to send crafted XML and read sensitive configuration information. Cisco patched the issue in August, but CISA has now added it to its catalog of exploited vulnerabilities.

Key context: BroadWorks supports cloud voice and collaboration services delivered by carriers and managed service providers.

Additional detail: The broader pattern is continued targeting of shared service platforms that can expose multiple customers.
