CVE-2024-20358 is a command injection vulnerability in the backup restore functionality of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software. The flaw exists because the contents of a backup file are improperly sanitized during the restore process. An authenticated local attacker with administrator-level privileges can exploit the issue by restoring a crafted backup file to an affected device, causing attacker-controlled commands to be executed on the underlying Linux operating system. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command execution with root-level privileges.
