Title
CVE-2026-20079 - Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Authentication Bypass to Root RCE
Summary
CVE-2026-20079 - Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Authentication Bypass to Root RCE Product: Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Tested version: 10.0.1-1 CVE: CVE-2026-20079 PoC author: Arian Eidizadeh (CyberAuth) Public PoC: https://github.com/CyberAuth/CVE-2026-20079 Technical write-up: https://banks.tools/writeups/cve-2026-20079-cisco-secure-fmc The publicly documented authentication-bypass-to-root-RCE chain was independently reproduced against Cisco Secure FMC 10.0.1-1 with confirmed uid=0(root) execution. The published Python implementation provides separate fingerprint, authentication-bypass check, bounded root-proof, exploit, verification, and cleanup functionality. This work does not claim discovery of CVE-2026-20079 or independent discovery of the original exploit chain. The contribution is the independent reproduction and public PoC implementation.
