Cisco Hit by Wave of Critical Flaws as Trump Expands Maine Immigration Crackdown and Pauses Europe Tariffs After Greenland Deal Talk

Cisco IEC6400 Wireless Backhaul Edge Compute Software SSH Denial-of-Service Vulnerability

Cisco IEC6400 Wireless Backhaul Edge Compute Software has a medium-severity vulnerability in its SSH service that could let an unauthenticated remote attacker flood the SSH port and cause the SSH service to stop responding. The issue stems from insufficient flood protection, and while SSH may become unavailable during the attack, other device operations remain stable. Cisco has released software updates to fix the issue (CVE-2026-20080), and no workaround is available.

Cisco Unified Communications products contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability

Cisco Unified Communications Products Remote Code Execution Vulnerability affects Unified CM, Unified CM SME, Unified CM IM & Presence, Unity Connection, and Webex Calling Dedicated Instance, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to send crafted HTTP requests to the web management interface and execute arbitrary commands. The flaw stems from improper input validation and could grant user-level OS access followed by privilege escalation to root, prompting Cisco to rate it Critical. Updates are available, and there are no workarounds. CVE-2026-20045.

Cisco Packaged CCE and Unified CCE Management Interface XSS Vulnerabilities

Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise (Packaged CCE) and Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) contain multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in their web-based management interfaces. An authenticated remote attacker with valid administrative credentials could exploit insufficient input validation by injecting malicious code into certain pages, potentially executing scripts in the interface context or accessing sensitive browser-based information. Cisco has released software updates to fix the issues, and no workarounds are available. (Medium severity; CVE-2026-20055, CVE-2026-20109.)

Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in Cisco Intersight Virtual Appliance

Cisco Intersight Virtual Appliance has a medium-severity privilege escalation flaw in its read-only maintenance shell that could let an authenticated local administrator gain root access due to improper permissions on system account configuration files. By manipulating these files from the maintenance shell, an attacker could take full control of the appliance, access sensitive data, alter workloads and configurations, or trigger a denial of service. Cisco has released software updates to fix the issue (CVE-2026-20092), and no workaround is available.

Trump Administration Expands Immigration Enforcement Operation to Maine Over Alleged Fraud

The Department of Homeland Security said it has launched a new immigration enforcement operation in Maine following reports of large-scale fraud allegedly linked to individuals in the state’s Somali community. ICE said the effort, called “Operation Catch of the Day,” has led to 50 arrests so far and has identified about 1,400 targets, including people accused of serious crimes such as sexual assault, child rape, and drug trafficking. Maine and local officials, including Portland’s mayor, criticized the planned increase in ICE activity and reiterated that local police do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, while the state’s top federal prosecutor warned that interference with federal officers could result in prosecution.

Trump Suspends Planned Tariffs on Europe After Citing Preliminary Greenland Agreement

Trump paused planned tariffs on European imports after saying he had reached a preliminary framework for a future deal involving Greenland and the broader Arctic. Following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, he said the tariffs set for February 1 would not take effect, though no details of the framework were released. Trump reiterated Greenland’s strategic importance, said future talks would be led by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and envoy Steve Witkoff, and stated he was not seeking a military solution.
