CVE-2026-20192
Status: AnalyzedCritical (10)—
As part of Cisco's ongoing commitment to proactive security and product quality, the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) engineering teams have conducted a comprehensive internal security review. This review resulted in a software hardening release that addresses multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities.
The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-20192 are related to improper access control issues that are grouped under the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Pillar CWE-284.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.46%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 37
- Score date: 9/30/2026
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).
