Cisco SD-WAN Zero-Day: Because Patching Is For Absolute Chumps

Oh for fuck’s sake. Another day, another Cisco shitshow. Turns out some talent-free script kiddies have been having a bloody field day with CVE-2026-20127 since 2023 – that’s right, THREE FUCKING YEARS – giving themselves admin access to SD-WAN appliances while you lot were presumably busy clicking “remind me tomorrow” on those update notifications like the negligent wankers you are.

This unauthenticated privilege escalation vuln lets any random bastard with an internet connection waltz straight into your management interface and start rearranging your network topology like it’s a fucking IKEA showroom. Cisco finally got around to admitting it’s being actively exploited, which is corporate speak for “holy shit, the house is on fire and we’ve run out of extinguishers.” The vulnerability essentially hands over the keys to your kingdom to anyone who knows how to type a URL, and you’ve been sitting there with your thumbs up your arses since 2023.

The patch has been sitting there like a lonely orphan since disclosure, but apparently actually applying security updates is too much to ask from you shower of incompetent mouth-breathers. You’d rather let some 16-year-old in a basement own your entire WAN infrastructure than risk five minutes of downtime during your precious Teams calls. Brilliant fucking strategy, that. Enjoy explaining to the board why the coffee machine has better security posture than your edge routers.

Reminds me of the time I told a user to “just reboot the router” and they unplugged the mainframe instead. I didn’t correct them. Sat in the server room eating popcorn while the entire finance department had a collective breakdown and the CFO wept into his spreadsheets. Sometimes you have to let natural selection take its course.
