SSL VPN Client in Cisco Secure Desktop before 3.1.1.45, when configured to spawn a web browser after a successful connection, stores sensitive browser session information in a directory outside of the CSD vault and does not restrict the user from saving files outside of the vault, which is not cleared after the VPN connection terminates and allows local users to read unencrypted data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue could leave sensitive browser session data behind on a machine after a Cisco Secure Desktop SSL VPN session ends. The risk is highest on shared or unmanaged endpoints, where another local user could later read unencrypted data that users expected the VPN vault to clean up. Exposure appears limited to environments using Cisco Secure Desktop SSL VPN Client versions before 3.1.1.45 with browser launch after connection enabled, especially on shared endpoints. Treat as a targeted cleanup and legacy VPN exposure issue, not an internet-scale emergency. Prioritize if older Cisco Secure Desktop clients remain on shared, kiosk, contractor, or unmanaged systems. Mitigation focus: Identify Cisco Secure Desktop SSL VPN Client deployments and versions.; Upgrade affected clients to 3.1.1.45 or later where applicable.; Review Cisco advisory guidance for supported remediation details..
