CVE-2025-20315 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) feature of Cisco IOS XE Software. The flaw is caused by improper handling of malformed Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) packets processed through an affected device. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger the issue by sending crafted malformed CAPWAP traffic through the vulnerable system, causing the device to reload unexpectedly. The vulnerability affects packet-processing logic in the NBAR feature and results in service interruption rather than code execution.
