Talos reports that the APT group UAT-11473 leveraged the authenticationâbypass CVEâ2026â20127 in Cisco SDâWAN Catalyst Controllers to install the KeyDrift framework, which harvests controlâplane key material and provides persistent backdoor access. The campaign targets space, defense, aerospace and policyâresearch entities and appears to share infrastructure with the VoltâŻTyphoon âSilentâŻTrainâ network.
Key points
- UATâ11473 exploited CVEâ2026â20127, an authentication bypass in Cisco SDâWAN Catalyst Controller, to gain unauthorized access.
- The group deployed KeyDrift, a custom malware suite with components PolyFlame and LittleFilch that reside in controller processes and intercept decrypted controlâplane traffic.
- KeyDrift stages extracted keying material in encrypted form and can act as an intermediate C2 host.
- Targeted sectors include satellite services, defense, aerospace technology, and policy research, with infrastructure overlap to VoltâŻTyphoonâs SilentâŻTrain network.

Cisco disclosed a denialâofâservice vulnerability in the SSL remoteâaccess VPN of its ASA and FTD firewalls that can be triggered by a crafted request when secondary authentication is enabled. The vendor has issued software updates to fix the issue; no workarounds exist aside from disabling secondary authentication.
Key points
- The vulnerability resides in the SSL VPN service of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA and Secure Firewall Threat Defense when secondary authentication is configured, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to cause a device reload and denial of service.
- Exploitation requires sending a crafted request during VPN connection; a successful attack forces the firewall to reboot unexpectedly.
- Cisco has published software updates for affected releases and recommends disabling secondary authentication as a mitigation, though this reduces remoteâaccess security posture.
- The advisory notes that only specific Cisco firewall products are vulnerable; cloudâdelivered firewalls and other listed models are not affected.
- No public exploits or active attacks are reported, and Ciscoâs advisory serves as the official guidance for remediation.
