The US cybersecurity agency CISA has issued a fresh warning on addressing two Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) vulnerabilities exploited in the China-linked ArcaneDoor espionage campaign.
The two bugs, tracked as CVE-2025-20333 and CVE-2025-20362, were discovered in May, after being exploited as zero-days in attacks against government organizations.
As part of the attacks, the threat actor exploited the flaws to deploy malware, execute commands on vulnerable appliances, and likely exfiltrate data.
