Cisco fixed CVE-2026-20320 in August. Three months later, attackers are exploiting the BroadWorks systems that never got the update, and CISA has added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
No credentials are needed. A crafted XML message is enough to read sensitive configuration files from the server. The patch was never the problem; the time it takes to reach every internet-facing instance is.
His advice to operators: find every exposed controller, cut unnecessary remote access, and set hard temperature limits the equipment can't be pushed past.

The way in was simple: temperature controllers exposed to the internet, weak authentication and poor configurations. No zero-day required. Our Head of Hacking, Melvin Lammerts, shared his take with @SCMagazine.
Manually auditing unfamiliar codebases for security vulnerabilities without a strong methodology can be tedious... 😓
