What is CVE-2026-20099?

A serious command injection vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of Cisco FXOS Software and Cisco UCS Manager Software. This security flaw allows an authenticated local attacker with administrative privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the device's underlying operating system. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input validation of user-supplied command arguments. By exploiting this issue, an attacker could escalate their privileges to root, compromising the entire system. It is crucial for administrators to promptly apply appropriate security measures to mitigate this risk.
