A vulnerability in the web-based user interface of the Cisco Secure Access Control Server prior to 5.8 patch 9 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain read access to certain information in the affected system. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of XML External Entities (XXEs) when parsing an XML file. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing the administrator of an affected system to import a crafted XML file. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve70595.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco Secure Access Control Server versions before 5.8 patch 9 can mishandle XML files imported through the web interface. An attacker would need to persuade an administrator to import a malicious XML file, which could expose certain system information. This is important for organizations still running legacy Cisco ACS, especially where administrators process externally supplied configuration files. Exposure is limited to Cisco Secure Access Control Server deployments prior to 5.8 patch 9. Risk is higher where the ACS web UI is reachable by administrators and XML imports can originate from untrusted or poorly verified sources. Prioritize remediation if Cisco Secure ACS is still in use, especially in identity or network access control environments. The issue is not known exploited from the provided evidence, but ACS often supports sensitive access decisions and should not remain below the fixed patch level. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Cisco Secure ACS instances older than 5.8 patch 9.; Review Cisco's advisory for fixed software and any vendor workarounds.; Do not import XML files from untrusted or unverifiable sources..

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.
