CVE-2025-20343 is a high-severity denial-of-service vulnerability in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE). The flaw is caused by a logic error in the RADIUS suppression feature associated with the setting that rejects RADIUS requests from clients with repeated failures. When Cisco ISE processes a specific sequence of crafted RADIUS access requests for a MAC address that is already in a rejected state, the affected node can enter an invalid state and restart unexpectedly. The issue affects Cisco ISE 3.4.0 and 3.4 Patch 1 through Patch 3 when the vulnerable feature is enabled.
