Title

Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, Secure Email Gateway, and Secure Web Appliance Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Summary

A vulnerability in the implementation of the remote access functionality of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, Cisco Secure Email Gateway, and Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to root. The attacker must authenticate with valid administrator credentials. This vulnerability is due to an architectural flaw in the password generation algorithm for the remote access functionality. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by generating a temporary password for the service account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and access the underlying operating system. Note: The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for this vulnerability is Medium due to the unrestricted scope of information that is accessible to an attacker.

Severity

Details: The vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another. Exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities is not required to exploit the other vulnerability. In addition, a software release that is affected by one of the vulnerabilities may not be affected by the other vulnerability. Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows: CVE-2024-20184: Cisco Secure Email Gateway and Cisco Secure Web Appliance Command Injection Vulnerability A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email Gateway and Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform command injection attacks against an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of XML configuration files by an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted XML configuration file. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject commands to the underlying operating system with root privileges. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Bug ID(s): CSCwk70559 ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwk70559"], CSCwk70576 ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwk70576"], CSCwk98506 ["https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCwk98506"] CVE ID: CVE-2024-20184 Security Impact Rating (SIR): Medium CVSS Base Score: 6.5 CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N CVE-2024-20185: Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, Cisco Secure Email Gateway, and Cisco Secure Web Appliance Privilege Escalation Vulnerability A vulnerability in the implementation of the remote access functionality of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, Cisco Secure Email Gateway, and Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to root.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-05 18:34 – Updated: 2025-02-05 18:34

Details

This vulnerability is due to an architectural flaw in the password generation algorithm for the remote access functionality. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by generating a temporary password for the service account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and access the underlying operating system. Note: The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for this vulnerability is Medium due to the unrestricted scope of information that is accessible to an attacker.

Severity

3.4 (Low)

Feiten: Cisco heeft kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Cisco AsyncOS Software (Specifiek voor Cisco Secure Web Appliance en Cisco Secure Email Gateway).

Interpretaties: De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de manier waarop Cisco AsyncOS Software omgaat met verzoeken en configuratiebestanden. Een aanvaller kan ongeauthenticeerde toegang krijgen tot het systeem door gebruik te maken van onjuiste verwerking van opgemaakte range request headers, waardoor ze schadelijke bestanden kunnen downloaden zonder authenticatie. Daarnaast kunnen geauthenticeerde aanvallers, door onvoldoende validatie van XML-configuratiebestanden, commando-injectie aanvallen uitvoeren, wat kan leiden tot willekeurige commando-uitvoering. Bovendien kunnen lokale aanvallers een architectonale fout in het wachtwoordgeneratie-algoritme misbruiken, wat kan leiden tot privilege-escalatie naar root. Deze kwetsbaarheden vereisen onmiddellijke aandacht van beveiligingsteams.

Oplossingen: Cisco heeft updates uitgebracht om de kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen. Zie bijgevoegde referenties voor meer informatie.
