CVE-2025-20354Network attack vector

Unauthenticated root command execution via RMI file upload

Published Nov 5, 2025 · Updated Nov 5, 2025

Unrestricted file upload in Cisco Unified CCX 15.0 and 12.5 SU3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute commands as root. The Java RMI process accepts a crafted file because specific Unified CCX features apply improper authentication to the upload operation. No credentials, user interaction, or special device configuration is required, and successful exploitation provides control of the underlying operating system with root permissions.
