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-2024-20265 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Aironet Access Point Software. 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-2024-20265/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20265/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-20265","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20265/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-20265","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gqw2-gvrw-vqqg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Access Point","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Physical attackers can bypass Secure Boot to load tampered software images on Cisco Access Points via boot-time console commands.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-501","name":"Trust Boundary Violation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the boot process of Cisco Access Point (AP) Software could allow an unauthenticated, physical attacker to bypass the Cisco Secure Boot functionality and load a software image that has been tampered with on an affected device.\r\n\r This vulnerability exists because unnecessary commands are available during boot time at the physical console. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by interrupting the boot process and executing specific commands to bypass the Cisco Secure Boot validation checks and load an image that has been tampered with. This image would have been previously downloaded onto the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to load the image once. The Cisco Secure Boot functionality is not permanently compromised.","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":"Security feature bypass in Cisco Aironet Access Point Software","id":"CVE-2024-20265","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in Cisco IOS XR Software","id":"CVE-2024-20266"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco Firepower Management Center Software Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20264"},"products":["Cisco Aironet Access Point Software","Cisco Aironet Access Point Software (IOS XE Controller)","Cisco Business Wireless Access Point Software","Cisco IOS XE Software"],"published":"2024-03-27","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Physical attackers can bypass Secure Boot to load tampered software images on Cisco Access Points via boot-time console commands.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20265/"}
