This is the best summary I could come up with:

Cisco is urging customers to protect their devices following the discovery of a critical, actively exploited zero-day vulnerability that’s giving threat actors full administrative control of networks.

“This is a critical vulnerability, and we strongly recommend affected entities immediately implement the steps outlined in Cisco’s PSIRT advisory.”

Any switch, router, or wireless LAN controller running IOS XE that has the HTTP or HTTPS Server feature enabled and exposed to the Internet is vulnerable.

In most cases, the threat actor has gone on to deploy an implant that allows it to execute malicious commands at the system or iOS level, once the web server is restarted.

The Talos team members said that they have seen devices fully patched against the earlier vulnerability getting the implant installed “through an as of yet undetermined mechanism.”

The Talos team members strongly urge administrators of any affected gear to immediately search their networks for signs of compromise.
