ClamAV Vulnerabilities Affecting Cisco Products: August 2026
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in ClamAV, a popular antivirus engine. These vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service condition. This would interrupt the normal scanning operations of ClamAV. Cisco is planning to release software updates to fix these issues on its affected platforms. Currently, there are no workarounds available to mitigate these vulnerabilities. The Security Impact Rating for Windows-based platforms is High, affecting products like Cisco Secure Endpoint Connector for Windows. This is because ClamAV runs with elevated privileges on these systems. On other platforms like Linux and Mac, the Security Impact Rating is Medium. This lower rating is due to ClamAV running with fewer privileges on these operating systems. Cisco Secure Endpoint Private Cloud is not directly affected, but the connectors distributed from it are vulnerable.
