CVE-2019-1818: Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Evolved Programmable Network Manager Path Traversal Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Manager software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to download and view files within the application that should be restricted. This vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in HTTP request parameters that describe filenames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using directory traversal techniques to submit a path to a desired file location. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view application files that may contain sensitive information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

An authenticated user of Cisco Prime Infrastructure or Cisco EPN Manager could use the web management interface to read restricted application files. The main business concern is exposure of sensitive information from management systems, not system takeover based on the supplied evidence. Likely exposure is organizations running Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4 or Cisco EPN Manager with the web management interface reachable by authenticated users. Risk is higher where many operator accounts exist or management access is available remotely. The supplied affected data explicitly lists Cisco Prime Infrastructure 3.4. Schedule remediation as a moderate-priority confidentiality issue. Escalate if the management interface is internet-facing, broadly accessible, or used by many low-privilege accounts, because exposed network management systems can hold sensitive operational data. Mitigation focus: Check Cisco advisory for fixed releases or vendor-supported remediation.; Restrict management interface access to trusted admin networks or VPN paths.; Review and reduce accounts with access to the affected management interface..
