Description

A vulnerability in the APIs of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the backend database. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of certain parameters that are concatenated directly into an SQL query. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request that contains SQL statements to an affected endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary content from the SQL database and conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.

In plain language

AI Act now

This flaw in Cisco Identity Services Engine Software lets someone who already controls an administrator account reach its database, so businesses running it should treat it as urgent.

Executive summary

Authenticated remote SQL injection in Cisco Identity Services Engine Software APIs allows an administrator-level attacker to read arbitrary database content and conduct server-side request forgery.

What to do now

  1. Confirm whether your organization runs Cisco Identity Services Engine Software and identify all administrator accounts and API access points.
  2. Restrict administrator and API access to trusted management networks, remove unused administrator accounts, and require strong multi-factor authentication where available.
  3. Ask Cisco or your support provider for the remediation timeline; no fixed version or patch information is currently available.
  4. Review Cisco ISE and database-access logs for unusual administrator API requests or unexpected requests to internal services.
