Cybercriminals have hacked a number of Cisco Systems servers using the Cisco Virtual Internet Routing Lab Personal Edition (VIRL-PE) platform. Cisco Modeling Labs Corporate Edition (CML) is also vulnerable to attacks because it includes a version of SaltStack that runs the vulnerable Salt Master (master) installation. Cisco updated the compromised servers on May 7, 2020, and applied all the necessary patches that address authentication bypass vulnerabilities (CVE-2020-11651) and directory traversal vulnerabilities that affect SaltStack servers.”]
