CVE-2001-0537

May 2026: This security advisory provides the details and fix information for a vulnerability that was discovered and fixed after the was disclosed in February 2026. This new advisory is for a new vulnerability in the control connection handshaking. The section of this advisory includes Show Control Connections guidance to help with system checks.  A vulnerability in the peering authentication in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller, formerly SD-WAN vSmart, and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and obtain administrative privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability exists because the peering authentication mechanism in an affected system is not working properly. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted requests to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to an affected Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller as an internal, high-privileged, non-root user account. Using this account, the attacker could access NETCONF, which would then allow the attacker to manipulate network configuration for the SD-WAN fabric.

A vulnerability was detected in zhayujie chatgpt-on-wechat CowAgent up to 2.0.4. This affects an unknown function of the component Agent Mode Service. Performing a manipulation results in missing authentication. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted requests to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to an affected Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller as an internal, high-privileged, non-root user account. Using this account, the attacker could access NETCONF, which would then allow the attacker to manipulate network configuration for the SD-WAN fabric. 

A security flaw has been discovered in CRMEB up to 5.6.3. The affected element is the function appleLogin of the file crmeb/app/api/controller/v1/LoginController.php. Performing a manipulation of the argument openId results in improper authentication. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

A vulnerability exists in an Orchestrator service that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass multi-factor authentication requirements. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to create an admin user account without the necessary multi-factor authentication, thereby compromising the integrity of secured access to the system.
