Last modified
CVE-2025-20269 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) and Cisco Prime Infrastructure could allow an authenticated, low-privileged, remote attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the underlying file system on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation for specific HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to the web-based management interface on an affected device. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
