Summary
Cisco Web Security Appliance and Cisco Content Security Management Appliance HTTP Header Injection Vulnerability

Notes

Summary
A vulnerability in the API Framework of Cisco AsyncOS for Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) and Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject crafted HTTP headers in the web server's response. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to access a crafted URL and receive a malicious HTTP response. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP headers into valid HTTP responses sent to a user's browser. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20200122-wsa-sma-header-inject ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20200122-wsa-sma-header-inject"]
Vulnerable Products
At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected Cisco WSA releases 12.0.1-268 and 11.8.0-382. No release prior to WSA 11.8 is affected by this vulnerability. At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected Cisco SMA releases earlier than Release 13.0.0-187. See the Details section in the bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory for the most complete and current information.

In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers. Fixed Releases At the time of publication, Cisco SMA releases 13.0.0-187 and later contained the fix for this vulnerability.
