Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-20066 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios Xe. 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-2023-20066/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20066/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20066","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20066/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20066","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cqx-pw8x-gx2v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IOS XE","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Cisco IOS XE web UI to read files outside the intended directory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xe","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:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"},{"id":"CWE-23","name":"Relative Path Traversal"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform a directory traversal and access resources that are outside the filesystem mountpoint of the web UI.
