Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-20286 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Identity Services Engine 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-2026-20286/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20286/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20286","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20286/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20286","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mphr-p8xr-8527"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Identity Services Engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can bypass permission checks to modify file descriptions in Cisco ISE via crafted HTTP requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identify Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to modify parts of the configuration on an affected device.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to the lack of server-side validation of\u0026nbsp;Administrator\u0026nbsp;permissions.
