3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an authenticated, local attacker with administrative privileges to perform a command injection attack on the underlying operating system and elevate privileges to root.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing crafted input to a specific CLI command. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to elevate their privileges to root on the underlying operating system.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation to root in Cisco ISE CLI allows an authenticated local attacker with administrative privileges to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. This command injection flaw stems from insufficient input validation in a specific CLI command, granting full control of the network access control appliance. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and the EPSS score of 0.05% indicates very low likelihood of widespread exploitation.
