Severity ?
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
A vulnerability in the web-based user interface (web UI) of Cisco IOS XE 16.2 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to elevate their privileges on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to incorrect default permission settings for new users who are created by using the web UI of the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the web UI of the affected software to create a new user and then logging into the web UI as the newly created user. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to elevate their privileges on the affected device. This vulnerability affects Cisco devices that are running a vulnerable release Cisco IOS XE Software, if the HTTP Server feature is enabled for the device. The newly redesigned, web-based administration UI was introduced in the Denali 16.2 Release of Cisco IOS XE Software. This vulnerability does not affect the web-based administration UI in earlier releases of Cisco IOS XE Software. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCuy83062.

Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a que la configuración por defecto de los permisos es incorrecta para los nuevos usuarios que se crean mediante la interfaz de usuario web del software afectado. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el uso de la interfaz de usuario web del software afectado para crear un nuevo usuario y luego iniciar sesión en la interfaz de usuario web como ese nuevo usuario. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir que el atacante eleve sus privilegios en el dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a los dispositivos de Cisco que ejecuten una distribución vulnerable del software de Cisco IOS XE, si la característica HTTP Server está habilitada para el dispositivo. El nuevo diseño de la interfaz de usuario de administración web se introdujo en la distribución 16.2 de Denali del software de Cisco IOS XE.
