Cisco Patches Two Critical UCCX Flaws That Enable Remote Command Execution

Cisco urges immediate upgrades to v15.0 ES01 or v12.5 SU3 ES07, citing no workarounds or signs of active exploitation.

Overview

  • CVE-2025-20354 targets the Java RMI process in Unified CCX, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload a crafted file and execute commands with root privileges.
  • CVE-2025-20358 abuses the CCX Editor authentication flow by redirecting it to a malicious server, enabling creation and execution of scripts on the Unified CCX server.
  • Affected releases include UCCX 15.0 and 12.5 SU3 and earlier, with fixes available in 15.0 ES01 and 12.5 SU3 ES07.
  • Cisco PSIRT reports no evidence of public exploit code or in-the-wild attacks, and the issues were privately disclosed by researcher Jahmel Harris.
  • Cisco also shipped fixes for additional Contact Center issues and a high-severity Cisco ISE DoS flaw (CVE-2025-20343), reinforcing guidance to patch without delay.
