An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-20683 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios Xe. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20683/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20683/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-20683","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20683/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-20683","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4p4h-xvff-9p66"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco wireless controller","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause a denial of service on Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controllers by sending crafted packets.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-124","name":"Buffer Underwrite"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Application Visibility and Control (AVC-FNF) feature of Cisco IOS XE Software for Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient packet verification for traffic inspected by the AVC feature. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted packets from the wired network to a wireless client, resulting in the crafted packets being processed by the wireless controller. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a crash and reload of the affected device, resulting in a DoS condition.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2022-20683","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios_xe","products":["cisco:ios_xe"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Wireless Controller Software for the Catalyst 9000 Family SNMP Trap Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-20684"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Wireless Controller Software for the Catalyst 9000 Family CAPWAP Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-20682"},"products":["Cisco IOS XE Software"],"published":"2022-04-15","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-20198","kev_date_added":"2023-10-16","published":"2023-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software Quality of Service Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2018-0151","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2018-03-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-20273","kev_date_added":"2023-10-23","published":"2023-10-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2025-20188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software for Catalyst 9000 Family Wireless Controllers CAPWAP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-34770","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco REST API Container for IOS XE Software Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-12643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software Security Hardening Release","id":"CVE-2026-20272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-06","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause a denial of service on Cisco Catalyst 9800 wireless controllers by sending crafted packets.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20683/"}
