Cisco has released a security advisory concerning a critical privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-20156) in its Meeting Management software. With a daunting CVSS score of 9.9, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, as it could enable remote, authenticated attackers with minimal privileges to elevate their access to administrator status on compromised devices.
Cisco warns, “A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain administrator-level control over edge nodes that are managed by Cisco Meeting Management.”
