An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-20293 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco IOS XE 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-2025-20293/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20293/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-20293","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20293/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-20293","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vjm2-5vch-882g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco wireless controller","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit incomplete cleanup to access the PKI server, obtain certificates, and join rogue devices to the wireless controller.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-459","name":"Incomplete Cleanup"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Day One setup process of Cisco IOS XE Software for Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controllers for Cloud (9800-CL) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access the public-key infrastructure (PKI) server that is running on an affected device.\r\n\r This vulnerability is due to incomplete cleanup upon completion of the Day One setup process.
