Cisco Secure Client Carriage Return Line Feed Injection (cisco-sa-secure-client-crlf-W43V4G7)

high Nessus Plugin ID 191708

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its self-reported version, Cisco Secure Client, formerly AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, is affected by a vulnerability in the SAML authentication process of Cisco Secure Client. The vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a carriage return line feed (CRLF) injection attack against a user. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link while establishing a VPN session. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the browser or access sensitive, browser-based information, including a valid SAML token. The attacker could then use the token to establish a remote access VPN session with the privileges of the affected user. Individual hosts and services behind the VPN headend would still need additional credentials for successful access.

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