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-2026-76466/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-76466/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-76466","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-76466/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-76466","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p2jr-qv63-hjch"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"cisco","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the database service feature of Cisco Expressway Series could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker with network access to a Cisco Expressway device to execute arbitrary operating system commands as\u0026nbsp;root.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to the use of persistent cookies. Additionally, there is insufficient validation of client certificates when the TLS Verify Mode is set to Enabled for clustering, which means that client certificates are not validated. An attacker with possession of the cookies could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the database service and invoking specific remote procedure call (RPC) commands. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the underlying operating system of an affected device.\r\nNote: Cisco Expressway Series refers to Cisco Expressway Core (Expressway-C) devices and Cisco Expressway Edge (Expressway-E) devices.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-10-26","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-10-26T15:37:13Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/mehmet-emir-eroglu/CVE-2026-76466","stars":0,"title":"Offline Python detector for CVE-2026-76466 in Cisco Expressway, using version and clustering evidence with JSON reporting."}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cisco Expressway Series Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-76466","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Meraki Software Hardening Release - Resource Lifetime Management Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-76467"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series Switches MPLS OAM Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-76465"},"products":["Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) Expressway"],"published":"2026-10-21","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-22","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-76466/"}
