CVE-2026-20128 is a vulnerability in the Data Collection Agent (DCA) feature of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. The issue is caused by the presence of a credential file for the DCA user on an affected system. An attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to read that file and recover the DCA password. With those credentials, the attacker can access another affected system and obtain DCA user privileges. Available reporting is inconsistent on whether exploitation requires only remote unauthenticated access or an authenticated local user with vManage privileges; however, the core weakness is exposure of a stored credential that can be retrieved from the system and reused for privilege gain. Cisco states that releases 20.18 and later are not affected.
