Descriptions
A vulnerability in the web services interface for remote access VPN features of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, but unprivileged, remote attacker to elevate privileges to level 15. This vulnerability is due to improper separation of authentication and authorization scopes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTPS messages to the web services interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain privilege level 15 access to the web management interface of the device. This includes privilege level 15 access to the device using management tools like the Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) or the Cisco Security Manager (CSM). Note: With Cisco FTD Software, the impact is lower than the CVSS score suggests because the affected web management interface allows for read access only.
Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz de servicios web para las funciones de VPN de acceso remoto del software Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) y del software Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) podría permitir a un atacante remoto autenticado, pero no privilegiado, elevar éstos al nivel 15. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a una separación inapropiada de los ámbitos de autenticación y autorización. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de mensajes HTTPS diseñados a la interfaz de servicios web de un dispositivo afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante conseguir acceso de nivel de privilegio 15 a la interfaz de administración web del dispositivo. Esto incluye el acceso de nivel de privilegio 15 al dispositivo usando herramientas de administración como el Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) o el Cisco Security Manager (CSM). Nota: Con el software FTD de Cisco, el impacto es menor de lo que sugiere la puntuación CVSS porque la interfaz de administración web afectada sólo permite el acceso de lectura
