Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-6735 affects Cisco FireSIGHT System Software backup and restore functionality. An attacker who already has authenticated local access could execute arbitrary code on the system. The known affected releases are 6.2.0 and 6.2.1. Public scoring and detailed remediation data are not present in the provided sources. Exposure is most likely limited to organizations still running Cisco FireSIGHT System Software 6.2.0 or 6.2.1, especially where multiple users have local authenticated access. Internet exposure is not indicated by the sources. Handle as a targeted infrastructure risk rather than a broad internet emergency. Prioritize confirmation of affected FireSIGHT versions and vendor-supported remediation because successful abuse could give code execution on a security management platform. Mitigation focus: Inventory Cisco FireSIGHT deployments and identify versions 6.2.0 or 6.2.1.; Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20170705-FireSIGHT and CSCvc91092 for fixed-release guidance.; Restrict local authenticated access to FireSIGHT systems to required administrators only..
