Cisco has addressed a high-severity vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20230, affecting Unified CM and Unified CM SME. The flaw, caused by improper validation of certain HTTP requests, allows a remote attacker without authentication to perform server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. Cisco warns that public PoC code is available and that successful exploitation could allow attackers to write files that may later be used to gain root privileges.
“This vulnerability is due to improper input validation for specific HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected device.” reads the advisory. “A successful exploit could allow the attacker to write files to the underlying operating system that could be used later to elevate to root.”
