CVE-2023-20048
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (9.9)—💥 PoC
A vulnerability in the web services interface of Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute certain unauthorized configuration commands on a Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) device that is managed by the FMC Software. This vulnerability is due to insufficient authorization of configuration commands that are sent through the web service interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the FMC web services interface and sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected device.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute certain configuration commands on the targeted FTD device. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need valid credentials on the FMC Software.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.9
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 16%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 97
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.

Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a una autorización insuficiente de los comandos de configuración que se envían a través de la interfaz del servicio web. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad autenticándose en la interfaz de servicios web de FMC y enviando una solicitud HTTP manipulada a un dispositivo afectado.
