Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary actions with administrative privileges on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication responses from an external authentication server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain administrative access to the web-based management interface of the affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz de administración basada en web de Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC), podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado omitir la autenticación y ejecutar acciones arbitrarias con privilegios administrativos en un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido al manejo inapropiado de las respuestas de autenticación Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) de un servidor de autenticación externo. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de peticiones HTTP diseñadas hacia un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante obtener acceso administrativo a la interfaz de administración basada en web del dispositivo afectado
