  - A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, formerly Cisco SD-WAN vManage, could allow an
    authenticated, local attacker to gain privileges of the root user on the underlying operating system. This
    vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An authenticated attacker with read-only privileges
    on the SD-WAN Manager system could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the CLI of
    the SD-WAN Manager. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain root privileges on the
    underlying operating system. (CVE-2025-20122)
