    <title>Cisco Nexus 9000 Root RCE (CVE-2026-20212): The Patch Queue Has No Workaround, So Your Monitoring Better Have One</title>
    <link>https://vijilan.com/blog/cisco-nexus-9000-root-rce-cve-2026-20212</link>
    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://vijilan.com/blog/cisco-nexus-9000-root-rce-cve-2026-20212</guid>
    <description>Cisco disclosed a CVSS 9.8 unauthenticated root RCE in Nexus 9000 switches this week, alongside an IOS XR hardening release with no vendor workaround. Neither device type runs EDR, so the SOC&apos;s log and flow visibility is the only thing standing between a scan and a compromised fabric.</description>
