Last modified

CVE-2026-20112 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability in the web-based Cisco IOx application hosting environment management interface of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based management interface of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious code into specific pages of the interface. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

A vulnerability in the web-based Cisco IOx application hosting environment management interface of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based management interface of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious code into specific pages of the interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.
