Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.Description
According to its self-reported version, Cisco Firepower Management Center is affected by a vulnerability in the Common Access Card (CAC) authentication feature of Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and access the FMC system. The attacker must have a valid CAC to initiate the access attempt. The vulnerability is due to incorrect session invalidation during CAC authentication. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by performing a CAC-based authentication attempt to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access an affected system with the privileges of a CAC-authenticated user who is currently logged in.Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
