Descriptions

A vulnerability in the administrative web interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to gain additional privileges on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper controls on certain pages in the web interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the device with an administrator account and sending a crafted HTTP request. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to create additional Admin accounts with different user roles. An attacker could then use these accounts to perform actions within their scope. The attacker would need valid Admin credentials for the device. This vulnerability cannot be exploited to add a Super Admin account.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz web administrativa de Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado obtenga privilegios adicionales en un dispositivo afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad se debe a los controles incorrectos en ciertas páginas de la interfaz web. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad autenticándose en el dispositivo con una cuenta de administrador y enviando una petición HTTP manipulada. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante cree cuentas de Administrador adicionales con roles de usuario diferentes. Así, un atacante podría emplear estas cuentas para realizar acciones dentro de su alcance. El atacante necesitaría credenciales de Administrador válidas para el dispositivo. Esta vulnerabilidad no puede ser explotada para añadir una cuenta Super Admin.
