CVE-2026-20103 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in the Remote Access SSL VPN functionality of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Software. The flaw is caused by trusting user-supplied input without proper validation, which allows crafted packets sent to the Remote Access SSL VPN server to trigger uncontrolled resource consumption. Specifically, exploitation can exhaust device memory, degrading the SSL VPN service and causing the device web interface to stop responding. The issue is remotely reachable and does not require authentication.
