AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Network REST API and low complexity, but valid administrative credentials required (PR:H); read-only session-DB disclosure gives C:H with I:N/A:N.

2DescriptionNVD
A vulnerability in the REST APIs of Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks against the session database.
This vulnerability is due to certain parameters being concatenated directly into SQL clauses without parameterization. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request that contains SQL statements in one of the affected parameters. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read information from the session database. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the REST APIs of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and the ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) allows an attacker who already holds valid administrative credentials to read information from the session database, with no integrity or availability impact. The vector is network-reachable, low complexity, and requires no user interaction, but the PR:H prerequisite confines this to a post-authentication data-disclosure/escalation concern rather than an initial-access vector. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires valid administrative credentials for Cisco ISE or ISE-PIC (PR:H) - the description explicitly states 'the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.' Exploitation is network-remote against the REST APIs (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction, but is gated entirely by prior administrative authentication. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely lower-priority issue despite affecting a critical enterprise product. … 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 is identified in the available data, so the authoritative next step is to review the Cisco Security Advisory (https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ise-multi-hrP9jQSQ) for the fixed software release for each affected train and upgrade ISE and ISE-PIC accordingly - Cisco advisories of this type typically publish per-train fixed versions and workarounds in the 'Fixed Software' and 'Workarounds' sections, and given the breadth of builds listed, plan upgrades from 3.1/3.2 first as those are older trains. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
