Cisco Dropped 18 CVEs Yesterday — Here's What Actually Needs Your Attention

Seven critical CVEs across two product lines. None exploited yet. No workarounds exist. Here's the fast triage.

NX-OS NGOAM — 3 × CVSS 9.8 Unauthenticated RCE

CVE-2026-76485, CVE-2026-76486, CVE-2026-76501

Affects: Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches

The NGOAM (VXLAN OAM) feature has improper input validation on IP traffic. Crafted packets → root code execution, no auth required. Each CVE has slightly different feature prerequisites:

CVE Requires
CVE-2026-76485 NGOAM + SRv6 OR NV Overlay
CVE-2026-76486 NGOAM + NV Overlay + at least one peer VTEP
CVE-2026-76501 NGOAM + SRv6 (Nexus 9000 only — 3000 doesn't support SRv6)

Check your exposure right now:


bash
show feature | include ngoam
show feature | include nve
show feature | include srv6
