An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device and sending a crafted HTTP payload. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to save the crafted payload and then execute it on the underlying operating system as root.\r\nTo exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials for a user account with at least the role of Security Analyst (read-only).","published":"2026-09-16T21:17:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-18T13:28:29.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-502"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00745,"percentile":0.54572,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.74%).
