More security brings more insecurity

February 19, 2020

modzero found a vulnerability in the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) environment, which allows arbitrary participients of a network to inject arbitrary JavaScript payload right into the administrative webpage of the Cisco ISE administration interface.

CISCO ISE is considered to enhance the overall network security, by limiting access to local area networks. Arbitrary users using DHCP as a yet anonymous participent are able to exploit weaknesses in Cisco's administrative interfaces and thus by-pass the increased security level:

The hostname and the vendor_class_id options of any DHCP request can be abused to inject malicious payload to execute code in the context of the browser of the administator, connecting to the Web interface. Further details and a PoC are available in our advisory.
