CVE-2025-20124
A vulnerability in an API of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insecure deserialization of user-supplied Java byte streams by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted serialized Java object to an affected API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device and elevate privileges. Note: To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid read-only administrative credentials. In a single-node deployment, new devices will not be able to authenticate during the reload time.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.2
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 97
- Fecha de la puntuación: 3/10/2026
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).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 %
AV:N/PR:H indica explotación remota con privilegios autenticados (T1210). CWE-502 (deserialización insegura) permite ejecución de comandos arbitrarios como root, elevando privilegios (T1059 + T1068).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad en una API de Cisco ISE podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado ejecute comandos arbitrarios como usuario superusuario en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a la deserialización insegura de secuencias de bytes de Java proporcionadas por el usuario por parte del software afectado. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad enviando un objeto Java serializado manipulado a una API afectada. Una explotación exitosa podría permitir al atacante ejecutar comandos arbitrarios en el dispositivo y elevar privilegios. Nota: Para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad con éxito, el atacante debe tener credenciales administrativas válidas de solo lectura. En una implementación de un solo nodo, los dispositivos nuevos no podrán autenticarse durante el tiempo de recarga."
