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-2025-20278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Unified Communications 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-2025-20278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-20278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20278/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-20278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qvpj-hmr8-j79p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Unified Communications","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated local attackers with admin credentials can execute arbitrary root commands via improper CLI argument validation in Cisco Unified Communications products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"finesse","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"socialminer","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_communications_manager","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_communications_manager_im_and_presence_service","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_contact_center_express","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_intelligence_center","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unity_connection","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"virtualized_voice_browser","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-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the CLI of multiple Cisco Unified Communications products could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system of an affected device as the root user.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied command arguments.
