CVE Summary Severity CVSS EPSS Priority Signals
CVE-2025-20281 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. CRITICAL 10.0 30.4% 150
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20131 Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) contains a critical unauthenticated Java deserialization vulnerability (CVE-2026-20131, CVSS 10.0) in its web interface that enables remote code execution as root. KEV-listed with public PoC, this vulnerability allows complete compromise of the central management platform that controls all Cisco firewalls in the organization, enabling attackers to modify security policies, disable protections, and access all network traffic. CRITICAL 10.0 0.6% 141
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20182 Remote unauthenticated attackers can bypass peering authentication in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller (vSmart) and SD-WAN Manager (vManage) to obtain administrative privileges and manipulate network configurations across the entire SD-WAN fabric. This critical authentication bypass (CVSS 10.0) allows direct NETCONF access as a high-privileged internal user without any credentials. Cisco released fixes in May 2026 following discovery of this second authentication flaw after a February 2026 disclosure of a related vulnerability. No active exploitation confirmed in CISA KEV at time of analysis, though the maximum CVSS score and authentication bypass nature make this a priority patching target for SD-WAN deployments. CRITICAL 10.0 1.6% 127
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20127 Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller and Manager contain a critical authentication bypass (CVE-2026-20127, CVSS 10.0) in the peering authentication mechanism that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to obtain full administrative privileges. The vulnerability exists because peering authentication does not properly validate credentials, enabling any attacker with network access to take over the SD-WAN management plane and control the entire WAN fabric. CRITICAL 10.0 2.6% 113
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20128 Privilege escalation in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (versions prior to 20.18) enables authenticated local attackers with valid vmanage credentials to obtain Data Collection Agent (DCA) user privileges by reading an unprotected credential file from the filesystem. Confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV) with publicly available exploit code despite low EPSS score (0.02%), indicating targeted attacks rather than widespread scanning. High-privileged initial access requirement (PR:H) and high attack complexity (AC:H) limit exploitability, but scope change (S:C) enables lateral movement to other SD-WAN systems. HIGH 7.5 0.0% 108
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20133 Insufficient filesystem access controls in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager expose sensitive operating system information to authenticated remote attackers through API access. An attacker with valid credentials can exploit this vulnerability to read confidential data from the underlying system without requiring user interaction. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability. MEDIUM 6.5 0.0% 103
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20122 Catalyst Sd-Wan Manager contains a vulnerability that allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files on the affected system and gain vmanage user priv (CVSS 5.4). MEDIUM 5.4 0.0% 97
KEV PoC No patch
CVE-2026-20045 Cisco Unified Communications Manager and related products contain a code injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-20045) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This KEV-listed vulnerability affects the core enterprise voice/video infrastructure including Unified CM, IM&P, Unity Connection, and Webex Calling Dedicated Instance, making it a high-priority threat for organizations dependent on Cisco collaboration tools. HIGH 8.2 1.0% 92
KEV No patch
CVE-2025-20352 A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow the following: An authenticated, remote attacker with low. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.7), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Actively exploited in the wild (cisa kev) and no vendor patch available. HIGH 7.7 2.0% 90
KEV No patch
CVE-2026-20079 Unauthenticated auth bypass in Cisco FMC web interface. CVSS 10.0. CRITICAL 10.0 0.2% 90
PoC No patch
CVE-2025-20282 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. CRITICAL 10.0 0.3% 50
No patch
CVE-2024-45208 Critical remote code execution vulnerability in Versa Director SD-WAN orchestration platform affecting the Cisco NCS application service bound to TCP ports 4566 and 4570. An unauthenticated network attacker can exploit weak HA authentication mechanisms to gain unauthorized administrative access and execute arbitrary code with CVSS 9.8 severity. While no active exploitation has been confirmed, third-party proof-of-concept code has been publicly disclosed, significantly elevating real-world risk. CRITICAL 9.8 1.2% 50
No patch
CVE-2025-20309 A vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition (Unified CM SME) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to log in to an affected device using the root account, which has default, static credentials that cannot be changed or deleted. This vulnerability is due to the presence of static user credentials for the root account that are reserved for use during development. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the account to log in to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to the affected system and execute arbitrary commands as the root user. CRITICAL 10.0 0.2% 50
CVE-2026-20223 Authentication bypass in Cisco Secure Workload allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke internal REST API endpoints and act with Site Admin privileges across tenant boundaries. The flaw carries a maximum CVSS 10.0 score with a changed scope and full CIA impact, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Successful exploitation enables reading sensitive tenant data and modifying configuration globally, making this a critical-priority issue for any organization running affected versions. CRITICAL 10.0 0.0% 50
No patch
CVE-2026-20147 A vulnerability in Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating CRITICAL 9.9 0.2% 50
