Finesse: External Control of File Name or Path (CVE-2026-20175)

mediumEPSS 0.2%

Affected

  • Cisco/Finesse 15.0(1)SU1..*

Description

A vulnerability in Cisco Finesse could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to load arbitrary files from remote locations into an active user session on an affected device, possibly leading to browser-based attacks. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input for HTTP requests that are sent to an affected device. An attacker who has knowledge of the address of the affected device could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link that contains the affected device address. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct browser-based attacks and execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive information on the affected device.

    • Translation: Title: Cisco Finesse de Cisco, Description: Una vulnerabilidad en Cisco Finesse podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado cargar archivos arbitrarios desde ubicaciones remotas en una sesión de usuario activa en un dispositivo afectado, lo que posiblemente llevaría a ataques basados en el navegador. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a una validación insuficiente de la entrada proporcionada por el usuario para las solicitudes HTTP que se envían a un dispositivo afectado. Un atacante que tenga conocimiento de la dirección del dispositivo afectado podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad persuadiendo a un usuario para que haga clic en un enlace manipulado que contenga la dirección del dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante realizar ataques basados en el navegador y ejecutar código de script arbitrario en el contexto de la interfaz afectada o acceder a información sensible en el dispositivo afectado.
