  - A vulnerability in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC)
    could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform path traversal attacks on the underlying
    operating system to either read or delete arbitrary files. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker
    must have valid administrative credentials. This vulnerability is due to improper validation of
    user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an
    affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive files or delete
    arbitrary files on the affected system. (CVE-2026-20146)

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