Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

According to its self-reported version, Cisco IOS on Cisco Industrial Ethernet (IE) Switches is affected by a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability due to insufficient CSRF protection by the device manager web interface. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by persuading a user of the interface to follow a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled website, in order to submit arbitrary requests to an affected device via the device manager web interface with the privileges of the user.

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant fixed version referenced in Cisco bug ID(s) CSCvc96405.
