CVE-2011-2546: SQL injection vulnerability in the web-based management interface on Cisco SA 500 series security appliance...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-2546 is a SQL injection flaw in the web management interface of Cisco SA 500 series security appliances. A remote attacker could run arbitrary SQL commands through unspecified inputs. Business risk depends heavily on whether any legacy SA 500 devices remain deployed and whether management access is exposed beyond trusted administrators. Exposure is limited to Cisco SA 500 series security appliances running software earlier than 2.1.19. Risk is highest where the web-based management interface is reachable from untrusted networks or broad internal segments. Organizations without these legacy appliances are not exposed based on the provided evidence. Prioritize remediation if Cisco SA 500 appliances are still in service, especially if management access is exposed. This affects a security appliance, so compromise could weaken network protections. If inventory confirms the product is absent or upgraded, business urgency is low. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Cisco SA 500 appliances to software 2.1.19 or later.; Restrict web management access to trusted administrative networks only.; Disable external exposure of the management interface where possible..
