CVE-2019-1629: Cisco Integrated Management Controller Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the configuration import utility of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have write access and upload arbitrary data to the filesystem. The vulnerability is due to a failure to delete temporarily uploaded files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious file and uploading it to the affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to fill up the filesystem or upload malicious scripts.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2019-1629 affects Cisco Integrated Management Controller through its configuration import utility. An unauthenticated remote attacker could leave arbitrary uploaded data on the device filesystem. Business risk is mainly management-plane integrity and operational disruption if storage is abused or scripts are placed. Exposure is limited to affected Cisco Unified Computing System Management Software version 4.0 running Cisco IMC where the configuration import utility is reachable. Internet-exposed or broadly reachable management interfaces raise practical risk. Treat as a moderate-priority management-plane issue. Prioritize internet-facing or shared-network IMC deployments first, then complete version inventory and vendor-guided remediation across affected UCS environments. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory for fixed software and vendor-supported workarounds.; Identify Cisco UCS Management Software 4.0 assets using Cisco IMC.; Restrict IMC management access to trusted administrative networks..
