Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-20871 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Asyncos. 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-2022-20871/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20871/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-20871","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-20871/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-20871","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rw66-6rgj-mwjh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Secure Web Appliance","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject commands via the web interface to execute arbitrary code and gain root privileges on Cisco Secure Web Appliance.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"asyncos","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web management interface of Cisco\u0026nbsp;AsyncOS for Cisco\u0026nbsp;Secure Web Appliance, formerly Cisco\u0026nbsp;Web Security Appliance (WSA),\u0026nbsp;could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform a command injection and elevate privileges to root.\r\nThis vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input for the web interface.
