CVE-2026-20101 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the SAML 2.0 single sign-on feature of Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Software and Cisco Secure FTD Software. The flaw is caused by insufficient error checking during processing of SAML messages. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send crafted SAML messages to the affected SAML service and trigger an unexpected device reload. The issue affects authentication-related functionality exposed through the Remote Access SSL VPN environment and results in service interruption rather than confidentiality or integrity compromise.
