Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-20859 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Unified Communications Manager. 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-2022-20859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-20859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20859/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-20859","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vjcc-9q9g-593v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Unified Communications","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers with read-only privileges can perform unauthorized administrative actions due to insufficient access control checks in the Disaster Recovery framework.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"unified_communications_manager","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_communications_manager_im_and_presence_service","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unity_connection","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Disaster Recovery framework of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM \u0026amp; Presence Service (Unified CM IM\u0026amp;P), and Cisco Unity Connection could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform certain administrative actions they should not be able to.
