CVE-2024-20450
Status: AnalyzedCritical (9.8)—
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series IP Phones and Cisco Small Business SPA500 Series IP Phones could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with root privileges.
These vulnerabilities exist because incoming HTTP packets are not properly checked for errors, which could result in a buffer overflow. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to overflow an internal buffer and execute arbitrary commands at the root privilege level.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 9.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 7.22%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 94
- Score date: 10/3/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

Estas vulnerabilidades existen porque los paquetes HTTP entrantes no se verifican adecuadamente en busca de errores, lo que podría provocar un desbordamiento del búfer. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad enviando una solicitud HTTP diseñada a un dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante desbordar un búfer interno y ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el nivel de privilegio superusuario."
