Latest Cisco SD-WAN advisories
High Cisco Advance Notification for Publication of August 5, 2026, Security Advisories
On August 5, 2026, the Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) will publish advisories to disclose security vulnerability information along with fixed software releases for the following Cisco products: Catalyst SD-WAN Integrated Management Controller (IMC) IOS Software RoomOS Terminal Services Agent
Critical [CVE-2026-20127] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the peering authentication in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller, formerly SD-WAN vSmart, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Validator, formerly SD-WAN vBond, could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and obtain administrative privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability exists because the peering authentication mechanism in an affected system is not working properly. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted requests to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to an affected Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller as an internal, high-privileged, non-root user account. Using this account, the attacker could access NETCONF, which would then allow the attacker to manipulate network configuration for the SD-WAN fabric. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Critical [CVE-2026-20182] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
May 2026: This security advisory provides the details and fix information for a vulnerability that was discovered and fixed after the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller Authentication Bypass Vulnerability was disclosed in February 2026. This new advisory is for a new vulnerability in the control connection handshaking. The Indicators of Compromise section of this advisory includes Show Control Connections guidance to help with system checks. A vulnerability in the peering authentication in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller, formerly SD-WAN vSmart, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Validator, formerly SD-WAN vBond, could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and obtain administrative privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability exists because the peering authentication mechanism in an affected system is not working properly. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted requests to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to an affected Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller as an internal, high-privileged, non-root user account. Using this account, the attacker could access NETCONF, which would then allow the attacker to manipulate network configuration for the SD-WAN fabric. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.
Medium [CVE-2026-20262] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to create a file or overwrite any file on the filesystem of an affected system. This vulnerability exists because the affected software does not properly validate user-supplied input during a file upload process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected API endpoint of the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to create or overwrite any file on the underlying operating system. This file could later be used to elevate to root. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials with at least write access. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
High [CVE-2026-20127 +2] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller, Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, and Catalyst SD-WAN Validator Authenticated Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller, formerly SD-WAN vSmart, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Validator, formerly SD-WAN vBond, could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root by supplying a crafted file to the affected system. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform command injection attacks on an affected system and elevate their privileges as the root user. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have netadmin privileges on the affected system. This would require valid credentials or exploitation of CVE-2026-20182 or CVE-2026-20127. Cisco is not aware of successful exploitation by other methods. Cisco has observed limited cases where the exploitation of this bug resulted in a configuration change pushed to edge devices. Cisco recommends that customers upgrade to the fixed software that is documented in the Catalyst SD-WAN Security Advisory that was published on May 14, 2026, and verify the configuration of the edge devices. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
High [CVE-2026-20209 +2] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, could allow a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information, elevate privileges, or gain unauthorized access to the application. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. Cisco strongly recommends that customers upgrade to the fixed software indicated in this advisory.
Critical [CVE-2026-20122 +4] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly SD-WAN vManage, could allow an attacker to access an affected system, elevate privileges to root, gain access to sensitive information, and overwrite arbitrary files. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. Cisco strongly recommends that customers upgrade to the fixed software indicated in this advisory.
Medium [CVE-2026-20108] Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the web-based management interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based informatio…
