What is CVE-2025-20120?
CVE-2025-20120 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager, published on 2 Apr 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) and Cisco Prime Infrastructure could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious code into specific pages of the interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.
Weakness: CWE-79
