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-2023-20253 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Catalyst Sd-Wan Manager. 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-2023-20253/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20253/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20253","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20253/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20253","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p5q8-553c-rh75"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco SD-WAN vManage","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker with low privileges can bypass authorization to roll back configurations on managed controllers and edge routers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"catalyst_sd-wan_manager","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"sd-wan_vmanage","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-286","name":"Incorrect User Management"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the command line interface (cli) management interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage could allow an authenticated, local attacker to bypass authorization and allow the attacker to roll back the configuration on vManage controllers and edge router device.\r\n\r This vulnerability is due to improper access control in the cli-management interface of an affected system.
