What is CVE-2023-20214?

A security flaw exists in the request authentication validation for the REST API of Cisco SD-WAN vManage software, enabling an unauthenticated remote attacker to access configuration information. This vulnerability arises from inadequate request validation mechanisms in the REST API feature.
