-
Two vulnerabilities in Cisco FMC Software and Cisco Firepower User Agent Software could allow an attacker to access a sensitive part of the system with a high-privileged account.
Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows:
Cisco Firepower Management Center Static Credential Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Cisco FMC Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access a sensitive part of an affected system with a high-privileged account.
This vulnerability is due to a system account that has a default and static password and that is not controlled by the system administrator. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using this default account to connect to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain read and write access to user agent data. The attacker would gain access to a sensitive portion of the system, but the attacker would not have full administrative rights to control the device.
Bug ID(s): CSCvq50674
CVE ID: CVE-2020-3318
Security Impact Rating (SIR): Medium
CVSS Base Score: 8.1
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCisco Firepower User Agent Static Credential Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the Cisco Firepower User Agent software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to access a sensitive part of an affected system with a high-privileged account.
This vulnerability is due to a system account that has a default and static password and is not controlled by the system administrator. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using this default account to connect to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain read and write access to user agent data. The attacker would gain access to a sensitive portion of the system, but the attacker would not have full administrative rights to control the device.
Bug ID(s): CSCvo08211
CVE ID: CVE-2020-3301
Security Impact Rating (SIR): Medium
CVSS Base Score: 7.1
