A vulnerability in the VPN configuration management of Cisco FireSIGHT System Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass VPN security due to unintended side effects of dynamic configuration changes that could allow an attacker to bypass configured policies. The vulnerability is due to incorrect management of the configured interface names and VPN parameters when dynamic CLI configuration changes are performed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending packets through an interface on the targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass configured VPN policies. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvh49388.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0333 is a Cisco FireSIGHT System Software issue where VPN policy controls may be bypassed after certain dynamic CLI configuration changes. A remote unauthenticated attacker could send traffic through an interface and bypass configured VPN policies. The provided sources do not include CVSS, affected version detail, or patch information. Exposure is likely limited to Cisco FireSIGHT System Software deployments using VPN configuration management, especially environments where interface names or VPN parameters are changed dynamically through CLI. The source bundle does not identify exact affected versions, configurations, or CPEs. Treat this as a targeted infrastructure-risk review, not a broad emergency from the provided evidence. If Cisco FireSIGHT controls VPN access in production, prioritize confirmation and remediation because VPN policy bypass can undermine network segmentation and access controls. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20180606-FireSIGHT-vpn-bypass for vendor remediation guidance.; Confirm whether Cisco Bug ID CSCvh49388 applies to deployed FireSIGHT versions.; Prioritize vendor-supported fixes or workarounds if FireSIGHT manages VPN policy enforcement..
