Answer in brief
CVE-2026-20148 records a Medium severity (CVSS 4.9) vulnerability in Cisco Identity Services Engine Path Traversal Vulnerability. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Cisco/Cisco Identity Services Engine Software (generic), Cisco/Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 4.9. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

A vulnerability in Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform path traversal attacks on the underlying operating system and read arbitrary files. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials. This vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive files on the affected system.
