  - A vulnerability in theCLI of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity
    Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an authenticated, local attacker with administrative privileges to perform
    a command injection attack on the underlying operating system and elevate privileges to root. This
    vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user supplied input. An attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability by providing crafted input to a specific CLI command. A successful exploit could allow the
    attacker to elevate their privileges to root on the underlying operating system. (CVE-2026-20136)
