Cisco Unified Communications Products Security Hardening Release: October 2026

Critical 8 CVEs Published Oct 21, 2026 at 4:00 PM UTC

Summary

As part of Cisco's ongoing commitment to proactive security and product quality, engineering teams for Cisco Emergency Responder, Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment, Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM & Presence Service (Unified CM IM&P), Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition (Unified CM SME), and Cisco Unity Connection have conducted a comprehensive internal security review.

This review resulted in software hardening releases that address multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities.

To assist customers in patching and streamline the disclosure process, Cisco has grouped these issues by their underlying vulnerability class — Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) — and assigned a single Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures identifier (CVE ID) to each CWE grouping.

Note: Cisco may publish separate security advisories that provide additional details about individual vulnerabilities that are addressed in this release.

Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
