CVE-2024-20472: Cisco FMC Software Web Interface SQL Attack Risk

CVE-2024-20472 · published 2 years ago
Summary

An attacker with Administrator-level access can inject malicious SQL code into Cisco FMC's web interface, potentially stealing sensitive data or making unauthorized changes to the system. This vulnerability affects the web-based management interface, which means an attacker must first gain access to the system as an administrator. To protect your system, ensure that only authorized personnel have Administrator-level access, and consider tightening security settings to prevent unauthorized SQL code from being executed.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct SQL injection attacks on an affected system.

This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not validate user input adequately. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the application as an Administrator and sending crafted SQL queries to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain unauthorized data from the database and make changes to the system. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need Administrator-level privileges.
