Cisco Unified CCX Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-20354, CVE-2025-20358)

Nov 7, 2025 8:20 PM

Tags: authentication, cisco, cve, data, remote-code-execution, service, vulnerability

Technical details The problem comes from weak authentication in two different CCX components. CVE-2025-20354 targets the Java RMI service. CCX exposes this service to accept remote data, but it does not properly check who is sending it. That means an attacker can upload a specially crafted file and run commands on the underlying operating system.”¦…
