Analysis

A vulnerability in the API of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative privileges to upload files to an affected device.

This vulnerability is due to improper validation of the file copy function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted file upload request to a specific API endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to upload arbitrary files to an affected system.

Technical ContextAI

Unrestricted file upload allows attackers to upload malicious files (web shells, executables) that can then be executed on the server. This vulnerability is classified as Improper Access Control (CWE-284).

RemediationAI

Validate file types by content (magic bytes), not just extension. Store uploads outside the web root. Use random filenames. Scan uploads for malware.
