Descriptions

A vulnerability in the Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) Launcher could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a user's operating system. This vulnerability is due to a lack of proper signature verification for specific code exchanged between the ASDM and the Launcher. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by leveraging a man-in-the-middle position on the network to intercept the traffic between the Launcher and the ASDM and then inject arbitrary code. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's operating system with the level of privileges assigned to the ASDM Launcher. A successful exploit may require the attacker to perform a social engineering attack to persuade the user to initiate communication from the Launcher to the ASDM.

Una vulnerabilidad en el Iniciador de Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), podría permitir a un atacante remoto no autenticado ejecutar código arbitrario en el sistema operativo de un usuario. Esta vulnerabilidad se presenta debido a la falta de verificación de firmas apropiada para el código específico intercambiado entre el ASDM y el Iniciador. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al aprovechar una posición de tipo man-in-the-middle en la red para interceptar el tráfico entre el Iniciador y el ASDM y luego inyectar código arbitrario. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar código arbitrario en el sistema operativo del usuario con el nivel de privilegios asignado al Iniciador ASDM. Una explotación con éxito puede requerir al atacante llevar a cabo un ataque de ingeniería social para persuadir al usuario de que inicie la comunicación desde el iniciador al ASDM
