CVE-2019-1942: Cisco Identity Services Engine Blind SQL Injection Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the sponsor portal web interface for Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to impact the integrity of an affected system by executing arbitrary SQL queries. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted input that includes SQL statements to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to modify entries in some database tables, affecting the integrity of the data. At the time of publication, this vulnerability affected Cisco ISE running software releases 2.6.0 and prior.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco ISE had a blind SQL injection flaw in its sponsor portal. An authenticated remote user could cause unauthorized database changes, affecting data integrity. The source bundle rates this medium severity and does not indicate active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where Cisco ISE 2.6.0 or prior is deployed and the sponsor portal is accessible to authenticated users. The bundle does not define specific configurations, roles, or internet exposure requirements beyond authenticated remote access. Prioritize remediation where legacy Cisco ISE is still in use. This is not presented as a mass unauthenticated compromise, but ISE supports network identity workflows, so unauthorized data changes can have business and access-control consequences. Mitigation focus: Identify Cisco ISE deployments and versions.; Check Cisco’s advisory for fixed-release guidance.; Upgrade or patch according to Cisco-supported guidance..

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

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