Summary
The KVM subsystem in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) relies on a hardcoded X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers, and read keyboard and mouse events, by leveraging knowledge of this certificate's private key, aka Bug ID CSCte90327.
Exploit prediction
0.61% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 49% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-09).
