CVE-2026-20302: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') in Cisco Cisco RoomOS Software
CVE-2026-20302 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the USB driver of Cisco RoomOS software. It allows an unauthenticated local attacker with physical access to the USB port to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by connecting a malicious USB device. The vulnerability arises from insufficient boundary checks on input data. The CVSS score is 6.1, indicating medium severity. No patch or official remediation information is currently available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Cisco RoomOS USB driver is caused by a lack of proper boundary checks on specific data received via USB. An attacker with physical access can exploit this by connecting a malicious USB device, triggering a buffer overflow and potentially executing arbitrary code with root privileges on the affected system. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or prior authentication. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no vendor advisory or patch information is provided at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the affected device, leading to full system compromise. The attack requires physical access to the USB port and no user interaction or authentication is needed. There is no indication of denial of service impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, limit physical access to USB ports on affected devices to trusted personnel only.
