CERT-FR published an advisory detailing multiple vulnerabilities discovered across several Cisco product lines, including the BroadWorks Application Delivery Platform, Application Server, Profile Server, and Xtended Services Platform, as well as Crosswork and Secure Workload. The flaws range in impact from remote code execution and privilege escalation to SQL injection, data integrity and confidentiality breaches, and security policy bypass. Cisco has released three security advisories (bworks-xxe, hardening-crosswork, hardening-csw1) covering ten CVEs disclosed on 19 August 2026.
No evidence of active exploitation is mentioned in the advisory; this is a vendor patch notice requiring administrators to update affected systems to the fixed versions (BroadWorks RI.2026.07, Crosswork 7.2.1-SP, Secure Workload 4.0.4.16 or 3.10.9.1) as detailed in Cisco's bulletins.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
