CVE-2021-1506: Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software Vulnerabilities
Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or gain access to sensitive information, or allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain escalated privileges or gain unauthorized access to the application. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.
The vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another. Exploitation of one of the vulnerabilities is not required to exploit another vulnerability. In addition, a software release that is affected by one of the vulnerabilities may not be affected by the other vulnerabilities.
Several of the vulnerabilities below only impact Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software that is operating in a cluster. Customers can verify whether the software is operating in cluster mode by checking the Cisco SD-WAN vManage web-based management interface Administration > Cluster Management view. Customers should also refer to the Cisco SD-WAN Getting Started Guide chapter on Cluster Management.
Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows:
CVE-2021-1468: Cisco SD-WAN vManage Cluster Mode Unauthorized Message Processing Vulnerability
A vulnerability in a messaging service of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software when operating in cluster mode could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to send unauthorized messages to the vulnerable application.
This vulnerability is due to improper authentication checks on user-supplied input to an application messaging service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting crafted input to the service. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to call privileged actions within the affected system, including creating new administrative level user accounts.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
