Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-20355 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance 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-2024-20355/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20355/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-20355","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20355/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-20355","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2fpj-x8pr-gx6p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco ASA/FTD VPN","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can bypass VPN authorization checks to access unauthorized network segments by reusing SAML tokens across tunnel groups.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"adaptive_security_appliance_software","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the implementation of SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) for remote access VPN services in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to successfully establish a VPN session on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper separation of authorization domains when using SAML authentication. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using valid credentials to successfully authenticate using their designated connection profile (tunnel group), intercepting the SAML SSO token that is sent back from the Cisco ASA device, and then submitting the same SAML SSO token to a different tunnel group for authentication. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to establish a remote access VPN session using a connection profile that they are not authorized to use and connect to secured networks behind the affected device that they are not authorized to access. For successful exploitation, the attacker must have valid remote access VPN user credentials.","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":"Missing authorization in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software","id":"CVE-2024-20355","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software","products":["cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software","cisco:secure_firewall_threat_defense"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in Cisco Unified Computing System (Standalone)","id":"CVE-2024-20356"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Aironet Access Point Software","id":"CVE-2024-20354"},"products":["Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software","Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Software"],"published":"2024-05-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-20333","kev_date_added":"2025-09-25","published":"2025-09-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) SNMP Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2016-6366","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-18"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Heap Inspection","id":"CVE-2026-20349","kev_date_added":"2026-08-11","published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2024-20353","kev_date_added":"2024-04-24","published":"2024-04-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) CLI Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-6367","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Read-Only Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2020-3452","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2020-3259","kev_date_added":"2024-02-15","published":"2020-05-06"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can bypass VPN authorization checks to access unauthorized network segments by reusing SAML tokens across tunnel groups.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20355/"}
