CVE-2026-20230Cisco Unified Communications Manager — request forgery to root
Cisco Unified Communications Manager does not validate certain web requests, so an unauthenticated attacker can make the server fetch resources of their choosing and write files to the underlying system — a stepping stone to root. Only servers running WebDialer are affected.
