CVE-2026-20035: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Cisco Cisco Unity Connection
A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco Unity Connection Web Inbox could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct SSRF attacks through an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper input validation for specific HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to send arbitrary network requests that are sourced from the affected device.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Cisco Unity Connection's Web Inbox interface allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform SSRF attacks by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. Due to improper input validation, the affected device can be tricked into initiating arbitrary network requests, potentially allowing attackers to access internal resources or services. The issue affects a broad range of Cisco Unity Connection versions from 12.5(1) through 15SU3. The CVSS score of 7.2 reflects the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. Cisco has published the vulnerability but has not yet provided an official fix or remediation details.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to cause the affected Cisco Unity Connection device to send arbitrary network requests, potentially exposing internal network resources or sensitive information. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild as of the publication date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Cisco advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, organizations should consider restricting network access to the Cisco Unity Connection Web Inbox interface to trusted users and networks only, and monitor for unusual network activity originating from the device. Avoid exposing the affected service directly to untrusted networks.
