Cisco Integrated Management Controller: Mehrere Schwachstellen
WID-SEC-2026-2673 · first 06.08.2026 · updated 06.08.2026 · CVSS 8,8
What it is about
Der Cisco Integrated Management Controller ist eine Serververwaltung für mehrere Cisco-Produkte. Cisco Secure Endpoint bietet Virenschutz und erweiterte Endpunkt-Erkennung und -Reaktion. Das Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center ist eine zentralisierte Plattform, die eine Verwaltung und Überwachung von Cisco Firewall-Geräten ermöglicht. Cisco Secure Network Server bietet Dienste zur Identitäts- und Zugriffsverwaltung. Ein entfernter, authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen im Cisco Integrated Management Controller ausnutzen, um einen Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriff durchzuführen oder beliebigen Code mit Root-Rechten auszuführen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network, but only with valid access (login required), for example with stolen credentials or as an insider.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- einen Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriff durchzuführen oder beliebigen Code mit Root-Rechten auszuführen
