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-2025-20155 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-2025-20155/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20155/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-20155","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20155/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-20155","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5jcx-7jcf-9fw2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco IOS XE","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can write arbitrary files to the OS by exploiting insufficient input validation in SD-WAN bootstrap loading.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1287","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the bootstrap loading of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to write arbitrary files to an affected system.\r\n\r This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of the bootstrap file that is read by the system software when a device is first deployed in SD-WAN mode or when an administrator configures SD-Routing on the device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by modifying a bootstrap file generated by Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, loading it into the device flash, and then either reloading the device in a green field deployment in SD-WAN mode or configuring the device with SD-Routing. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform arbitrary file writes to the underlying operating system.","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":"Path traversal in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2025-20155","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios_xe","products":["cisco:ios_xe"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Meeting Management Client-Server Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20156"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco IOS, IOS XE and IOS XR Software TWAMP Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20154"},"products":["Cisco IOS XE Software"],"published":"2025-05-07","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-20198","kev_date_added":"2023-10-16","published":"2023-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software Quality of Service Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2018-0151","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2018-03-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-20273","kev_date_added":"2023-10-23","published":"2023-10-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2025-20188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software for Catalyst 9000 Family Wireless Controllers CAPWAP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-34770","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco REST API Container for IOS XE Software Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-12643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software Security Hardening Release","id":"CVE-2026-20272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"}],"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":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker can write arbitrary files to the OS by exploiting insufficient input validation in SD-WAN bootstrap loading.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20155/"}
