Feiten
Cisco heeft meerdere kwetsbaarheden verholpen in de Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.
Interpretaties
De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de peering authenticatiemechanismen van de Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller en Manager producten. Deze kwetsbaarheden stellen een niet-geauthenticeerde externe aanvaller in staat om het authenticatieproces te omzeilen, waardoor administratieve privileges op de getroffen systemen kunnen worden verkregen. Daarnaast kunnen aanvallers root-level privileges verkrijgen, wat kan leiden tot ongeautoriseerde toegang tot gevoelige informatie en de mogelijkheid om willekeurige bestanden te overschrijven, wat kan resulteren in verdere exploitatie of systeeminstabiliteit. De meest ernstige kwetsbaarheid, met kenmerk CVE-2026-20127, kan door een ongeauthenticeerde kwaadwillende worden misbruikt om op afstand willekeurige code uit te voeren met hoge administratieve rechten. Cisco geeft aan dat actief misbruik van deze kwetsbaarheid bekend is. Na misbruik van deze kwetsbaarheid zou de kwaadwillende de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2022-20775 gebruiken om de rechten te escaleren tot root. Dit doet de actor door het systeem te downgraden naar een versie waarin CVE-2022-20775 niet verholpen is, de rechten middels deze kwetsbaarheid te verhogen naar root en vervolgens het systeem weer terug te zetten in de oorspronkelijke versie. Het NCSC verwacht op korte termijn een publieke PoC en grootschalige pogingen tot misbruik van CVE-2026-20127. Het NCSC adviseert met klem de update zo spoedig mogelijk te installeren.
Oplossingen
Cisco heeft updates uitgebracht om de kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen. In een blog geeft Talos informatie over het bekende misbruik en is er een validatie checklist beschikbaar gesteld met uitleg hoe deze kan worden toegepast. Zie bijgevoegde referenties voor meer informatie.
