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-2026-20171 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco NX-OS 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-2026-20171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20171/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20171","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h75f-8f3x-9m8c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Cisco Nexus Switch","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service on Cisco Nexus switches by sending crafted BGP updates when enforce-first-as is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-670","name":"Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)\u0026nbsp;enforce-first-as feature of\u0026nbsp;Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches and Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches in standalone NX-OS mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger BGP peer flaps, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to incorrect parsing of a transitive BGP attribute.
