Cisco Identity Services Engine and ISE Passive Identity Connector Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in the API of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC), allowing authenticated, remote attackers with administrative privileges to upload files to affected devices. This issue arises from improper validation in the file copy function, enabling attackers to send crafted file upload requests to specific API endpoints. Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the upload of arbitrary files to the system.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary file uploads to the affected system.

Remediation

Users can upgrade to Cisco ISE versions 3.1 P10, 3.2 P7, or 3.3 P3. For Cisco ISE-PIC, migrate to a fixed release. Consult the Cisco Security Advisories page for guidance on software upgrades.
