Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Remote web interface (AV:N/AC:L) but requires valid low-tier admin credentials (PR:L); impact limited to modifying one config element, so I:L only with C:N/A:N.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionNVD
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identify Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to modify parts of the configuration on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to the lack of server-side validation of Administrator permissions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted HTTP request to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to modify descriptions of files on a specific page. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need valid Administrator credentials.
AnalysisAI
Missing server-side validation of administrator permissions in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) lets an authenticated, remote administrative user modify configuration content that should be gated behind a higher privilege level, specifically the descriptions of files on one particular page. Only ISE deployments exposing the management interface to a reachable network are affected, and exploitation requires a valid administrative credential (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base score 4.3), so confidentiality and availability are untouched and only a narrow integrity element is at risk. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold valid Cisco ISE Administrator credentials and network reach to the web-based management interface; there is no unauthenticated path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a low-priority, low-real-risk issue despite being a network-vector Cisco ISE flaw. … 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 is identified in the data available for this analysis; patch status must be confirmed directly against Cisco's advisory at https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ise-auth-bypass-1-MxcTNgwx, which is the authoritative source for fixed builds and any available software maintenance updates. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
