Cisco Identity Services Engine Insecure Java Deserialization and Authorization Bypass Vulnerabilities (cisco-sa-ise-multivuls-FTW9AOXF)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 216074
Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.Description
According to its self-reported version, Cisco Identity Services Engine Insecure Java Deserialization and Authorization Bypass Vulnerabilities is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.- A vulnerability in an API of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the root user on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insecure deserialization of user-supplied Java byte streams by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted serialized Java object to an affected API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device and elevate privileges. Note:To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid read-only administrative credentials. In a single-node deployment, new devices will not be able to authenticate during the reload time. (CVE-2025-20124)
- A vulnerability in an API of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with valid read-only credentials to obtain sensitive information, change node configurations, and restart the node. This vulnerability is due to a lack of authorization in a specific API and improper validation of user-supplied data. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to a specific API on the device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to attacker to obtain information, modify system configuration, and reload the device. Note:To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid read-only administrative credentials. In a single-node deployment, new devices will not be able to authenticate during the reload time. (CVE-2025-20125)
