Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-20231 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-2023-20231/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20231/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20231","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20231/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20231","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hch7-v5wv-5w63"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco IOS XE","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers with Lobby Ambassador credentials can inject CLI commands to execute arbitrary code with level 15 privileges on Cisco IOS XE devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"},{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform an injection attack against an affected device.\r\n\r This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation.
