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-2023-20025 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Small Business RV Series Router Firmware. 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-2023-20025/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20025/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20025","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20025/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20025","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q4cw-h889-p6jj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Small Business Router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can bypass authentication and gain root access on Cisco Small Business RV Series Routers via crafted HTTP requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"rv016_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"rv042_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"rv042g_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"rv082_firmware","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-290","name":"Authentication Bypass by Spoofing"},{"id":"CWE-293","name":"Using Referer Field for Authentication"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV016, RV042, RV042G, and RV082 Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication on an affected device.\r\n\r This vulnerability is due to improper validation of user input within incoming HTTP packets.
