An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-20198 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Enterprise NFV Infrastructure 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-2026-20198/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20198/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20198","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20198/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20198","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pm96-2768-2263"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IMC","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary scripts or access sensitive data in a user's browser via a crafted link in the Cisco IMC interface.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input.
