CVE-2013-3384: The web framework in IronPort AsyncOS on Cisco Web Security Appliance devices before 7.1.3-013, 7.5 before...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-3384 affects the web framework in Cisco IronPort AsyncOS on certain Web Security, Email Security, and Content Security Management appliances. An authenticated remote user could submit crafted URL input that causes arbitrary command execution. This is serious for organizations still running the listed legacy AsyncOS versions. Exposure is limited to Cisco Web Security Appliance, Email Security Appliance, and Content Security Management Appliance deployments running the specific pre-fixed AsyncOS versions listed in the CVE. Internet-facing or broadly accessible administrative web interfaces increase practical risk, but authentication is required. Prioritize remediation if these appliances remain in production, especially if administrative interfaces are widely reachable. Although this is an older authenticated issue, command execution on security infrastructure can undermine mail, web, and content-security controls. Mitigation focus: Identify Cisco WSA, ESA, and SMA appliances and their AsyncOS versions.; Upgrade affected appliances to Cisco-fixed versions listed in the CVE or later.; Review Cisco advisories for product-specific remediation and upgrade guidance..
