"According to its self-reported version, Cisco Secure Web Appliance Real-Time Scanning Archive File Bypass is affected by
a vulnerability.

  - A vulnerability in the Dynamic Vectoring and Streaming (DVS) Engine implementation of Cisco AsyncOS
    Software for Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the
    anti-malware scanner, allowing malicious archive files to be downloaded. This vulnerability is due to
    improper handling of certain archive files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a
    crafted archive file, which should be blocked, through an affected device. A successful exploit could
    allow the attacker to bypass the anti-malware scanner and download malware onto an end user workstation.
    The downloaded malware will not automatically execute unless the end user extracts and launches the
    malicious file. (CVE-2026-20056)

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