Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-0665 affects the Hostscan module in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.0(.00051) and earlier. A local user could make the client write to arbitrary files, which creates endpoint integrity risk where old AnyConnect clients remain deployed. Exposure is limited to endpoints running Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.0(.00051) or earlier with the Hostscan module present. The provided data does not identify affected operating systems or configurations beyond that. Treat this as a targeted endpoint hygiene issue, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize cleanup where VPN clients run on shared, high-risk, or privileged workstations. Mitigation focus: Inventory AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions across managed endpoints.; Check Cisco advisory guidance for Bug ID CSCus79173.; Upgrade or replace affected clients according to Cisco guidance..
