Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-20169 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco IoT Field Network Director (IoT-FND). 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-2026-20169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20169/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rx82-7g7m-r755"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IoT Field Network Director","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can execute commands and manipulate files on remote routers via the Cisco IoT Field Network Director web interface.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"iot_field_network_director","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco IoT Field Network Director could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with low privileges to access files and execute commands on a remote router.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of user-supplied data.
