Cisco Identity Services Engine Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack and perform arbitrary actions on an affected device.

This vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections for the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to follow a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform arbitrary actions on the affected device with the privileges of the target user.

For more information about CSRF attacks and potential mitigations, see Understanding Cross-Site Request Forgery Threat Vectors [“https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/cmb/28726.html”].

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
