CVE-2018-0187: Cisco Identity Services Engine Privileged Account Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Admin portal of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to obtain confidential information for privileged accounts. The vulnerability is due to the improper handling of confidential information. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging into the web interface on a vulnerable system. An exploit could allow an attacker to obtain confidential information for privileged accounts. This information could then be used to impersonate or negatively impact the privileged account on the affected system.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco ISE has an Admin portal flaw that could let a logged-in remote user see confidential information for privileged accounts. The immediate business risk is credential or account impersonation inside an identity and access platform, not system outage. Exposure is most relevant where Cisco ISE is deployed and users can authenticate to the Admin portal. The source bundle does not identify affected release ranges, so version exposure must be confirmed against Cisco guidance. Handle as a moderate-priority identity infrastructure issue. It does not indicate unauthenticated compromise, but exposure of privileged account information can support impersonation and follow-on access if an attacker already has portal credentials. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory for affected releases, fixed software, and workarounds.; Inventory Cisco ISE deployments and identify Admin portal access paths.; Restrict Admin portal access to trusted administrators and management networks..

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
