An easy-to-use exploit was publicly released this week for a patched vulnerability that affects the widely used Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client and Cisco Secure Client applications for Windows. Attackers could leverage the exploit to elevate their privileges on a victim’s system and take full control of it.
Cisco Secure Client for Windows, previously known as Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client before version 5.0, is an application that integrates with multiple Cisco endpoint security and management platforms and technologies including its AnyConnect VPN and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) platform, which is popular with enterprises.
