Protection Mechanism Failure

As part of Cisco's ongoing commitment to proactive security and product quality, the Cisco Secure Adaptive Security Appliance Software, Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Software engineering team has conducted a comprehensive internal security review. This review resulted in a software hardening release that addresses multiple internally discovered vulnerabilities.   The vulnerabilities tracked by CVE-2026-20331 are related to the failure of protection mechanisms issues that are grouped under the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) Pillar CWE-693.Show less

Zope AccessControl provides a general security framework for use in Zope. Prior to 7.4, applications that allow untrusted users to create and execute AccessControl-controlled Python code do not safely guard str.format and str.format_map when those methods are reached through a str subclass. In both ImplPython.py and cAccessControl.c, Python formatting can recursively access attributes and subscriptions using unrestricted getattr and getitem behavior instead of the policy-restricted getattr and getitem operations. A controlled format string can therefore disclose objects reachable from values available to the formatting operation. This issue is fixed in version 7.4.Show less

RestrictedPython is a tool that helps define a subset of the Python language for accepting program input in a trusted environment. Prior to 8.4, RestrictedPython could allow a sandbox escape when a custom import policy or globals exposed the standard library string module, the string.Formatter class, a Formatter instance, or a Formatter subclass to restricted code. The string.Formatter methods format, get_field, get_value, and vformat performed attribute and item traversal internally without passing through RestrictedPython's safer_getattr protections. Restricted code could use those live object references to reach function globals, builtins, file access, or code execution primitives, affecting confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the host environment. This issue is fixed in version 8.4.Show less

Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1415.v9a_f9b_3a_c253d and earlier does not check calls from sandboxed scripts to methods added dynamically to a class at runtime, allowing attackers with permission to define and run sandboxed scripts, including Pipelines, to bypass the sandbox protection and execute code outside the sandbox.Show less

Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1415.v9a_f9b_3a_c253d and earlier checks the operations Groovy will perform with the elements it reads from a collection that a sandboxed script casts to another type but performs the cast on the collection itself, allowing attackers with permission to define and run sandboxed scripts, including Pipelines, to bypass the sandbox protection and execute arbitrary code in the context of the Jenkins controller JVM.Show less

Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1415.v9a_f9b_3a_c253d and earlier does not intercept operations performed on a null receiver (method calls, property and attribute accesses, and array accesses), allowing attackers with permission to define and run sandboxed scripts, including Pipelines, to bypass the sandbox protection and execute arbitrary code in the context of the Jenkins controller JVM.Show less

Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1415.v9a_f9b_3a_c253d and earlier does not check the method called through the proxy created when a sandboxed script coerces a value to an interface, if the value inherits a method of the same name as an interface method, allowing attackers with permission to define and run sandboxed scripts, including Pipelines, to bypass the sandbox protection and execute arbitrary code in the context of the Jenkins controller JVM.Show less

In multiple functions of arm-smmu-v3.c, there is a possible escalation of privilege due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Show less

In smmu_detach_dev of arm-smmu-v3.c, there is a possible permission bypass due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Show less

In FsmReleaseKey of fsm.c, there is a possible permission bypass due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Show less

In Cellular Modem, there is a possible permission bypass due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to remote (proximal/adjacent) escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Show less

In Bootloader, there is a possible permission bypass due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Show less
