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-2026-20052 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense. 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-2026-20052/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20052/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20052","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20052/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20052","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f3x2-jxv4-r583"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a denial of service by sending crafted SSL packets to the Snort 3 Detection Engine, requiring SSL inspection to be enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"secure_firewall_threat_defense","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-788","name":"Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the memory management handling for the Snort 3 Detection Engine of Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Snort 3 Detection Engine to restart.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to a logic error in memory management when a device is performing Snort 3 SSL packet inspection.
