It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-20063 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center. 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-2023-20063/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20063/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20063","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20063/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20063","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q7p5-7677-gx8j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Firepower","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated local attackers with admin privileges can execute arbitrary commands with root permissions via insufficient input validation in inter-device communication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"secure_firewall_management_center","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"},{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the inter-device communication mechanisms between devices that are running Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software and devices that are running Cisco Firepower Management (FMC) Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root permissions on the underlying operating system of an affected device.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the expert mode of an affected device and submitting specific commands to a connected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of an FMC device if the attacker has administrative privileges on an associated FTD device. Alternatively, a successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of an FTD device if the attacker has administrative privileges on an associated FMC device.","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":"Cisco Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software and Cisco Firepower Management Center Code Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-20063","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:secure_firewall_management_center","products":["cisco:secure_firewall_management_center","cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco IOS XR Software Bootloader Unauthenticated Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-20064"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco Unified Intelligence Center Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2023-20062"},"products":["Cisco Firepower Management Center","Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software"],"published":"2023-11-01","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Firewall Management Center Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel","id":"CVE-2026-20079","kev_date_added":"2026-09-09","published":"2026-03-04"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software and Cisco Security Cloud Control (SCC) Firewall Management Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2026-20131","kev_date_added":"2026-03-19","published":"2026-03-04"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Use of Hard-coded Password","id":"CVE-2026-20316","kev_date_added":"2026-07-29","published":"2026-07-29"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software Radius Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-14"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Command injection in Cisco Firepower Management Center","id":"CVE-2024-20424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-23"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Missing authorization in Cisco Firepower Management Center","id":"CVE-2023-20048","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco Firepower Management Center Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-16028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-23"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-16","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Authenticated local attackers with admin privileges can execute arbitrary commands with root permissions via insufficient input validation in inter-device communication.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20063/"}
