CVE-2026-121287

Security Advisory 0221

Published Nov 10, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 7.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

An unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network segment can send crafted RIPv2 packets to a RIP-enabled interface on the device to trigger the Rip agent crash without providing valid credentials. Repeated exploitation reliably interrupts routing service on the affected device, which may also disrupt routing for other devices that depend on it. In a worst-case scenario, the vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

switch(config)# router rip switch(config-router-rip)# shutdown switch(config-router-rip)# end Note: disabling RIP or changing network statements may withdraw routes and interrupt connectivity. Plan a change window, confirm alternate routing, and verify the resulting configuration and route behavior.
