CVE-2024-20262 is a vulnerability in the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) and SFTP feature of Cisco IOS XR Software. It could allow an authenticated, local attacker to create or overwrite files in a system directory, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability occurs due to a lack of proper validation of SCP and SFTP CLI input parameters.
