Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20718)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete sanitization of parameters that are passed in for activation of an application in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote administrator can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary commands on the target system.
2) Execution with unnecessary privileges (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20719)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete sanitization of parameters that are passed in as part of the IOx package descriptor. A remote administrator can execute arbitrary code on the underlying host operating system.
3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20720)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote administrator can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read or write arbitrary files on the system.
4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20721)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote administrator can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
5) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20722)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote administrator can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
6) Execution with unnecessary privileges (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20723)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete sanitization of parameters that are passed in for activation of an application in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote administrator can execute arbitrary code on the underlying host operating system.
7) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20724)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition for allocation of the token in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote attacker can exploit the race, bypass authentication and impersonate another authenticated user session.
8) Stored cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20725)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the web-based Local Manager interface. A remote user can inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20726)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient error handling of socket operations in the Cisco IOx application hosting environment. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted TCP traffic and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20727)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions. A local administrator can modify application content while a Cisco IOx application is loading and gain elevated privileges on the system.
