Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
Fixed Software
Cisco considers any workarounds and mitigations (if applicable) to be temporary solutions until an upgrade to a fixed software release is available. To fully remediate these vulnerabilities and avoid future exposure as described in this advisory, Cisco strongly recommends that customers upgrade to the fixed software indicated in this advisory. Fixed Releases In the following tables, the left column lists Cisco software releases. The right column indicates whether a release is affected by the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory and the first release that includes the fix for these vulnerabilities. Customers are advised to upgrade to an appropriate fixed software release ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"] as indicated in this section. Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release First Fixed Release Earlier than 20.91 Migrate to a fixed release. 20.9 20.9.8.2 (Estimated release February 27, 2026) 20.111 20.12.6.1 20.12.5 20.12.6 20.12.5.3 20.12.6.1 20.131 20.15.4.2 20.141 20.15.4.2 20.15 20.15.4.2 20.161 20.18.2.1 20.18 20.18.2.1 1. These releases have reached End of Software Maintenance ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/sd-wan/eos-eol-notice-listing.html"]. Cisco strongly encourages customers to upgrade to a supported release ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/sdwan/release/notes/compatibility-and-server-recommendations.html"]. The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) validates only the affected and fixed release information that is documented in this advisory. Additional Information To check component and software release compatibility, see the SD-WAN Controller Component Compatibility Matrix ["https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/Website/enterprise/catalyst_sdwan_compatibility_matrix/index.html"].

Recommendations
Cisco recommends upgrading the affected systems to a fixed software release. General Recommendations for Hardening Prevent access from unsecured networks, such as the internet, to the system. If internet access to the system is required, restrict system access to only known, trusted hosts on ports/protocols that are included in the user guides. Protect Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Control Components behind a filtering device such as a firewall, and filter traffic to and from the systems while allowing only known, trusted hosts to send traffic to the systems. Using a two-layer firewall can provide flexibility in network planning so that end users do not connect directly to the outer DMZ. See the Deployment sections of the User Guides for Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN software ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/SDWAN/cisco-sdwan-design-guide.html#DeploymentPlanning"]. Regularly monitor web log traffic for any unexpected traffic to and from systems. Logging should be sent to an external server, if possible, and kept for a long enough duration so that post-event investigations can be performed with sufficient log data. Disable HTTP for the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager web UI administrator portal. Disable any network services that are not required, including HTTP and FTP. For more information about specific service functionality, see the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN user guides. Upgrade the system to the latest version of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Software. Change the default administrator password to a more secure variant. Restrict access to the administrator account by creating user accounts based on necessary access requirements. In addition, create operator accounts for all administrators. Use SSL/TLS, obtain an SSL certificate from a certificate authority (CA), or create a self-signed certificate. For more information, review the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Hardening Guide ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/Cisco-Catalyst-SD-WAN-HardeningGuide"].
