An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system in limited areas of the file system. This vulnerability affects only areas of the operating system for which the template user has write permissions. \r\nTo exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid template user credentials with write permissions. Template users with read permissions cannot exploit this vulnerability. ","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","score":6.3},"cwes":["CWE-74"],"references":["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-cnc-inj-QNMeEmxk"],"products":["cisco:crosswork_network_controller"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T11:33:08.859761529+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-20220","score":0.00253,"percentile":0.16644,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
