Feiten: Cisco heeft een kwetsbaarheid verholpen in Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem.
Interpretaties: Een kwaadwillende kan deze kwetsbaarheid misbruiken doordat in Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem) een intern servicecomponent onbedoeld extern toegankelijk is. Hierdoor kan een aanvaller op afstand via een gemanipuleerde API-request commando’s uitvoeren op het onderliggende besturingssysteem met root-rechten.
Oplossingen: Cisco heeft updates uitgebracht om de kwetsbaarheid te verhelpen. Zie bijgevoegde referenties voor meer informatie.
Kans: medium
Schade: high
CWE-668: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere

A vulnerability in Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges by exploiting an exposed internal service API.
