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-2022-20695 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). 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-2022-20695/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20695/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-20695","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20695/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-20695","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2cxv-rmxp-hvp9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco Wireless LAN Controller","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass authentication and gain administrative access to Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers via crafted credentials in non-default configurations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"wireless_lan_controller_8.10.151.0","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"wireless_lan_controller_8.10.162.0","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"},{"id":"CWE-303","name":"Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the authentication functionality of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication controls and log in to the device through the management interface This vulnerability is due to the improper implementation of the password validation algorithm. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to an affected device with crafted credentials. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass authentication and log in to the device as an administrator. The attacker could obtain privileges that are the same level as an administrative user but it depends on the crafted credentials. Note: This vulnerability exists because of a non-default device configuration that must be present for it to be exploitable.
