An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-20196 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Identity Services Engine. 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-2023-20196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20196/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20196","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c3jv-24xc-jqh6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Identity Services Engine","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can upload malicious files to Cisco ISE, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"identity_services_engine","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"Two vulnerabilities in Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to upload arbitrary files to an affected device. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must have valid Administrator credentials on the affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to improper validation of files that are uploaded to the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by uploading a crafted file to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to store malicious files in specific directories on the device. The attacker could later use those files to conduct additional attacks, including executing arbitrary code on the affected device with root privileges.","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":"File upload in Cisco Identity Services Engine Software","id":"CVE-2023-20196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:identity_services_engine","products":["cisco:identity_services_engine"],"type":"file_upload","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Secure Endpoint","id":"CVE-2023-20197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in Cisco Identity Services Engine Software","id":"CVE-2023-20195"},"products":["Cisco Identity Services Engine Software"],"published":"2023-11-01","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs","id":"CVE-2026-76460","kev_date_added":"2026-09-16","published":"2026-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Injection","id":"CVE-2025-20337","kev_date_added":"2025-07-28","published":"2025-07-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Injection","id":"CVE-2025-20281","kev_date_added":"2025-07-28","published":"2025-06-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Hardening Release - Improper Neutralization Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-20130","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Hardening Release - Access Control Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-20192","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco ISE API Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20282","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3290","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-09-21"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can upload malicious files to Cisco ISE, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20196/"}
