CVE-2024-20454 is a critical vulnerability affecting Cisco Small Business SPA300 and SPA500 Series IP Phones, allowing unauthenticated, remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges via the web-based management interface. The vulnerability stems from improper error checking of incoming HTTP packets, leading to a buffer overflow. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical), exploitation requires no user interaction and grants full control over the device.
