I don’t follow. In most cases, you still have to develop exploits to “exploit” vulnerabilities. Very few of them just offer you a login prompt over the internet

What don't you follow? If 3 letter agencies had been given backdoor access by Cisco, why would the 3 letter agencies need to develop exploits that take advantage of flaws in the software? Cisco could have just added port knocking instead of adding additional accounts and logic errors and hoping nobody except the US govt finds it.

  Maybe I’m reading wrong, but nobody implied Cisco installed the backdoor at the request of the government.
