CVE-2026-20034 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unity Connection. The flaw is caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied input in API requests. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue by submitting a crafted API request to the management interface, which can result in arbitrary code execution on the affected device. Successful exploitation allows code execution with root privileges and can lead to complete compromise of the system.
