If you’ve ever been knee-deep in troubleshooting and wished you could quickly roll back just a section of a config — not the entire device — you’ll love what’s new in rConfig V8.0.2.

On September 24, 2025, Cisco disclosed a serious vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem of Cisco IOS and IOS XE software, tracked as CVE-2025-20352.

The world of Network Configuration Management (NCM) has stayed largely the same for over a decade. Tools like RANCID and Oxidized pull down device configs, log changes, and call it a day. But in modern network environments — where compliance is critical and downtime is costly — that’s no longer enough.

We’re thrilled to share that rConfig is going Platinum at the Zabbix Summit 2025, taking place this October 8–10 in Riga. This isn’t just a sponsorship — it’s a statement. We're bringing the full power of our new rConfig V8 release to the global stage, including two major new features: a next-gen Zabbix integration and a soon-to-be-revealed AI-powered capability that’s going to change the game for network teams. If you’re in the business of automating, scaling, or securing network operations — you’ll want to see what’s coming.

Network security teams are racing to address a new critical vulnerability in Cisco IOS XE Wireless Controller Software. With a maximum CVSS score of 10.0, CVE-2025-20188 allows unauthenticated attackers to remotely execute commands with root privileges across enterprise networks. This post explains the vulnerability details and demonstrates how rConfig's automation tools can detect, mitigate, and verify fixes across your entire infrastructure within minutes instead of days.
