This vulnerability affects Cisco devices running if the Web UI feature is enabled. Instead of returning a generic string like SSH-2
An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable API endpoint. ⚠️ Potential Impact If successfully exploited, an attacker can:
: These flaws allow attackers to crash or hang a device by sending specific traffic patterns. Resource Exhaustion
