CVE-2026-20044 is a command injection vulnerability in the lockdown mechanism of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software. The flaw is caused by insufficient restrictions on remediation modules while the system is operating in lockdown mode. An authenticated local attacker with valid administrative credentials can exploit the issue by supplying crafted input to the device CLI, allowing unintended command execution despite the protections expected from lockdown mode. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary command or code execution with root privileges on the affected system.
