A vulnerability in the certificate import functionality of the web-based management interface of Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the affected system. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the affected feature. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the web-based management interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the affected device, which could contain sensitive information.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated path traversal in the certificate import function of the Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC web-based management interface lets a remote attacker who already holds valid administrative credentials read arbitrary files from the appliance, exposing configuration data and other sensitive content. Exploitation requires high-privileged access (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base score 4.9), which meaningfully constrains the threat: the attacker must first compromise or be granted an administrative account, so this is best treated as a post-compromise information-disclosure and privilege-escalation enabler rather than an unauthenticated entry point. …
