Vulnerable Products
At the time of publication, these vulnerabilities affected Cisco Unity Connection, regardless of device configuration.
For information about which Cisco software releases were vulnerable at the time of publication, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. See the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for the most complete and current information.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.
-
The vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another. Exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities is not required to exploit another vulnerability. In addition, a software release that is affected by one of the vulnerabilities may not be affected by the other vulnerabilities.
Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows:
CVE-2026-20059: Cisco Unity Connection Reflected XXS Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unity Connection could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a reflected XSS attack against a user of the interface.
This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Bug ID: CSCwq36822
CVE ID: CVE-2026-20059
Security Impact Rating (SIR): Medium
CVSS Base Score: 6.1
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCVE-2026-20060: Cisco Unity Connection Open Redirect Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unity Connection could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to redirect a user to a malicious web page.
This vulnerability is due to improper input validation of HTTP request parameters. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to redirect a user to a malicious web page.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Bug ID: CSCwq36828
CVE ID: CVE-2026-20060
Security Impact Rating (SIR): Medium
CVSS Base Score: 4.7
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:NCVE-2026-20061: Cisco Unity Connection SQL Injection Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unity Connection could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform an SQL injection attack against an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid user credentials on the affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP(S) request to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view data on the affected device.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Bug ID: CSCwq36796
CVE ID: CVE-2026-20061

SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool. Please note that customers may download only software that was procured from Cisco directly or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner and for which the license is still valid.
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade.
When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for the relevant Cisco products to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
