CVE-2024-20297Network attack vector

Network access bypass via incorrect group ACL population

Published Oct 23, 2024 · Updated Oct 24, 2024

Access control bypass in Cisco ASA and FTD Software allows remote attackers to send traffic denied by configured AnyConnect ACLs. A logic error populates group ACLs when a new AnyConnect session starts, expanding an object-group destination to any network, any port, or both in the ACL pushed to the client. Exposure requires a vulnerable release with Forward Reference and AnyConnect Firewall Rule enabled; exploitation grants only the network access that those rules should block.
