CVE-2022-20648 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability in a debug function for Cisco RCM for Cisco StarOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform debug actions that could result in the disclosure of confidential information that should be restricted. This vulnerability exists because of a debug service that incorrectly listens to and accepts incoming connections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the debug port and executing debug commands. EPSS estimates a 0.98% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description
