2DescriptionNVD
A vulnerability in the API of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive information on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied parameters in API requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted API request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information, including hashed credentials that could be used in future attacks.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated remote attackers holding valid administrative credentials can read sensitive data - including hashed credentials usable in follow-on attacks - from Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) by sending a single crafted API request that is improperly validated and reaches the backend as SQL (CWE-89). The flaw affects ISE Software across the 3.1.x, 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x and 3.5 branches at numerous patch levels; exploitation requires administrator-level privileges (PR:H) but no user interaction, and the API is network-reachable. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires valid administrative credentials on the affected Cisco ISE device (PR:H per CVSS and explicitly stated in the description), so exploitation is limited to attackers who already hold admin-level access or have compromised such an account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor CVSS of 4.9 (Medium) is a credible ceiling, not an understatement. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version was identified in the available data, so the Cisco security advisory at https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ise-inf-disc-LFWvcCu must be consulted for the fixed software release and upgrade path for each affected branch (3.1.0, 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x), and upgrading to that confirmed build is the primary remediation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
