Cisco, WatchGuard Release Patches; SonicWall Won’t Fix GMS Flaws

This incident highlights the compounding risk of running End-of-Life (EoL) software in production environments: when vendors cease support, critical vulnerabilities go unaddressed, leaving organizations permanently exposed. SonicWall's decision not to patch two critical flaws in GMS underscores that EoL systems are not just outdated — they are active liabilities. Meanwhile, the Cisco and WatchGuard patches serve as a reminder that timely remediation of critical RCE and authentication vulnerabilities is essential to prevent system compromise. Organizations that delay patching or fail to plan for EoL transitions hand attackers a reliable, indefinite foothold.
