Cisco has issued security updates to address two critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-20439 and CVE-2024-20440, in its Smart Licensing Utility. These vulnerabilities could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to elevate privileges or access sensitive information. Though independent, these vulnerabilities are being actively exploited by attackers and can be chained together to further enhance the attack’s effectiveness. Cisco has urged users to update to version 2.3.0 immediately, as no workarounds exist.
