"According to its self-reported version, Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software is affected by a vulnerability.

  - A vulnerability in the web services of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software,
    Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software, Cisco IOS Software, Cisco IOS XE Software, and Cisco
    IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker (Cisco ASA and FTD Software) or
    authenticated, remote attacker (Cisco IOS, IOS XE, and IOS XR Software) with low user privileges to
    execute arbitrary code on an affected device.  This vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-
    supplied input in HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP
    requests to a targeted web service on an affected device after obtaining additional information about the
    system, overcoming exploit mitigations, or both. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute
    arbitrary code as root, which may lead to the complete compromise of the affected device. (CVE-2025-20363)
