CVE-2019-1623: Cisco Meeting Server CLI Command Injection Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the CLI configuration shell of Cisco Meeting Server could allow an authenticated, local attacker to inject arbitrary commands as the root user. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation during the execution of a vulnerable CLI command. An attacker with administrator-level credentials could exploit this vulnerability by injecting crafted arguments during command execution. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform arbitrary code execution as root on an affected product.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-1623 lets a privileged local administrator on Cisco Meeting Server abuse a CLI configuration command to run commands as root. This is not a remote unauthenticated issue, but compromise of an admin account could become full system compromise. Exposure is most likely limited to Cisco Meeting Server deployments where users can access the local CLI with administrator privileges. The source bundle does not specify affected versions or CPEs, so product inventory must be checked against Cisco guidance. Treat this as a controlled-priority infrastructure risk. It is not reported as actively exploited, but a compromised administrator account could lead to root-level control of a conferencing server. Mitigation focus: Check Cisco's advisory for affected and fixed Cisco Meeting Server releases.; Upgrade or patch according to Cisco's official guidance.; Restrict CLI administrator access to trusted personnel and managed devices..

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
