CVE-2018-15425: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Identity Services Engine

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-15425 affects Cisco Identity Services Engine Software. An authenticated remote user could abuse the web-based management interface to run operating-system commands with web-server privileges. For organizations using Cisco ISE, this is a serious management-plane risk, especially where administrator access or the interface is broadly exposed. Exposure is limited to Cisco Identity Services Engine Software deployments with the web-based management interface reachable by an authenticated attacker. The bundle does not name specific vulnerable versions, so version exposure must be confirmed against Cisco's advisory and local asset inventory. Treat as a high-priority infrastructure remediation item if Cisco ISE is deployed. The issue requires authentication, but the impact is command execution on a security management system. Prioritize patch verification, management-interface restriction, and credential hygiene. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco's advisory for affected and fixed ISE releases.; Apply Cisco-recommended updates or workarounds when confirmed applicable.; Restrict ISE management interface access to trusted administrative networks..
