CVE-2025-20195 Details
Description
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a CSRF attack and execute commands on the CLI of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections for the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading an already authenticated user to follow a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to clear the syslog, parser, and licensing logs on the affected device if the targeted user has privileges to clear those logs.
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the web-based management interface of Cisco IOS XE Software. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute commands on the command-line interface (CLI) of an affected device. The issue arises from inadequate CSRF protections, enabling an attacker to manipulate an already authenticated user into following a crafted link. If successful, the attacker could clear the syslog, parser, and licensing logs on the device, provided the targeted user has the necessary privileges to do so.
Cisco has released software updates to address this vulnerability. Instructions for upgrading can be found on the Cisco Security Advisories page. As a temporary measure, the HTTP Server feature can be disabled, which eliminates the attack vector for this vulnerability. To do so, use the 'no ip http server' or 'no ip http secure-server' command in global configuration mode.
