CVE-2026-20357Network attack vector

Unauthenticated access to critical functions

Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026

Missing authentication in Cisco Crosswork Planning before 7.2.1-SP allows remote attackers to reach critical functions via network requests. Cisco has disclosed only that one or more security-sensitive functions lacked an authentication check; no public advisory, CVE record, or patch detail names the affected endpoint, component, or code path. Exposure is not configuration-dependent because Cisco lists Crosswork Planning among vulnerable products regardless of device configuration, but the public record does not disclose whether exploitation yields direct code execution, data access, or service interruption beyond the maximum-case CVSS 10.0 rating for this grouped CWE-306 issue.
