AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Remote web interface (AV:N) reachable with low-privileged admin creds (PR:L); Java deserialization escapes the app to root on the host (S:C, C/I/A:H).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system of an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have at least low-privileged administrative credentials.
This vulnerability is due to insecure deserialization of a user-supplied Java byte stream. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted serialized Java object to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the device and elevate privileges to root. In single-node deployments, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could cause the affected ISE node to become unavailable, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. In that condition, endpoints that have not already authenticated would be unable to access the network until the node is restored.

AnalysisAI
Authenticated remote code execution in Cisco ISE allows an attacker with low-privileged administrative credentials to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system and elevate to root via insecure deserialization of a crafted Java object sent to the web-based management interface. Exploitation requires network access to the management interface and valid low-privileged admin credentials (CVSS 9.9, PR:L), and successful attacks on single-node deployments can cause a denial-of-service condition that prevents unauthenticated endpoints from accessing the network. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the Cisco ISE web-based management interface AND valid low-privileged administrative credentials (PR:L) - it is authenticated, not open to fully anonymous attackers. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority vulnerability, not a CVSS-inflation artifact. … 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 | Apply the fixed software release specified in the Cisco security advisory at https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ise-rce-se7bYU57 (patch available per vendor advisory). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, restrict access to the Cisco ISE management interface to trusted internal networks only, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts, and monitor logs for suspicious deserialization attempts. …
