Cisco Clean Access 3.5.5 and earlier on the Secure Smart Manager allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and cause a denial of service or upload files via direct requests to obsolete JSP files including (1) admin/uploadclient.jsp, (2) apply_firmware_action.jsp, and (3) file.jsp.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-4332 affects legacy Cisco Clean Access Secure Smart Manager deployments. Remote unauthenticated attackers could bypass authentication, disrupt service, or upload files by reaching obsolete JSP pages. The business risk is concentrated in old, still-running appliances or management interfaces exposed beyond trusted administrator networks. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still operating Cisco Clean Access Secure Smart Manager 3.5.5 or earlier. Risk rises sharply if the management web interface is reachable from untrusted networks. Many environments may no longer run this product because the CVE is from 2005. Treat as high priority only if legacy Cisco Clean Access is still present. The issue combines remote authentication bypass with file upload and service disruption, but the available sources do not confirm active exploitation or provide a modern severity score. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory for vendor-supported fixes, upgrades, or workarounds.; Restrict Secure Smart Manager access to trusted administrator networks only.; Retire or isolate unsupported Cisco Clean Access deployments..
