CVE-2025-20282 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC that allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to privileged directories and execute them as root via an internal API lacking file validation. This is a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability with complete system compromise impact; organizations running affected Cisco ISE deployments face immediate risk of total infrastructure takeover without authentication requirements or user interaction.
Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC contain a critical input injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-20281, CVSS 10.0) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root on the underlying operating system. With EPSS 30.4% and KEV listing, this vulnerability targets the network access control platform that governs who and what can access the enterprise network — compromising ISE means controlling network admission for the entire organization.
A vulnerability in the API of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative privileges to upload files to an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper validation of the file copy function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted file upload request to a specific API endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to upload arbitrary files to an affected system.
