System compromise via insufficiently protected credentials
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Insufficiently protected credentials in Cisco Crosswork Planning before 7.2.1-SP allow remote authenticated users to compromise the system. Cisco has disclosed only the weakness class and has not published the affected component or how the product stores, exposes, or reuses sensitive credentials. Cisco assigned CVSS 9.9 with low attack complexity and low privileges required, so any reachable deployment that grants an account should be treated as exposed despite the undisclosed mechanism.
