vulnerability.

  - A vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) and Cisco Unified Communications
  Manager Session Management Edition (Unified CM SME) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to log
  in to an affected device using the root account, which has default, static credentials that cannot be
  changed or deleted. This vulnerability is due to the presence of static user credentials for the root
  account that are reserved for use during development. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using
  the account to log in to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to log in to the
  affected system and execute arbitrary commands as the root user. (CVE-2025-20309)

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.");
