An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-20288 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Unified Computing System. 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-2026-20288/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20288/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20288","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20288/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20288","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-424c-37gm-gvcf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IMC","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated admin attackers can execute arbitrary commands as root via the Cisco IMC web interface due to improper input validation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"unified_computing_system","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_computing_system_e-series_software","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-146","name":"Improper Neutralization of Expression/Command Delimiters"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco IMC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with\u0026nbsp;Admin privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system of an affected system and elevate privileges to root.\u0026nbsp;\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input.
