CVE-2026-20122Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager — read-only account overwrites files

A read-only account with programming-interface access (API) on Cisco's Catalyst software-defined wide-area network manager (SD-WAN Manager) can upload a file that overwrites any other on the host, lifting the attacker to the manager's own service account.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply Cisco advisory cisco-sa-sdwan-authbp-qwCX8D4v now; audit read-only accounts that carry interface access and look for files written outside the upload paths.
