What it is about

Der Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) ist die architektonische Hauptkomponente der Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller ausnutzen, um sich erweiterte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen, beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

• sich erweiterte Berechtigungen zu verschaffen
• beliebigen Code auszuführen
• Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
• Daten zu manipulieren oder offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller <6.0(9h)
• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller <6.1(6g)
• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller <6.2(3g)
• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller <6.1(3f)

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller 6.0(9h)
• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller 6.1(6g)
• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller 6.2(3g)
• Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller 6.1(3f)

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
