Chuckie is in hot water, expecting federal government agencies to remove Cisco equipment
US Senator Bill Cassidy has fired off a pointed letter to Cisco over the firewall flaws that allegedly let hackers breach "at least one federal agency."
Cassidy's letter [PDF] to Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins demands clarity around the company's knowledge of and response to the critical flaws – namely CVE-2025-20333 and CVE-2025-20362 – that prompted the US government to issue an emergency patching directive for federal civilian agencies.
Cassidy says "at least one federal agency has already been breached as a result of this vulnerability," a claim Cisco has not publicly confirmed or denied.
