Cisco ISE
Summary
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a reflected XSS attack against a user of the interface. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by injecting malicious code into specific pages of the interface.
Details
| Severity | Base Score | CVE |
|---|---|---|
| MEDIUM | 4.8 | CVE-2025-20289 |
Exploitation
To exploit these vulnerabilities, the attacker must have at least a low-privileged account on the affected device. By injecting malicious code into specific pages of the web-based management interface, the attacker can execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.
Affected Products
- Cisco ISE: Vulnerable due to insufficient input validation in the web-based management interface.
- Cisco ISE-PIC: Also affected by the same vulnerabilities allowing for potential XSS attacks.
Mitigation
It is recommended to apply the latest security patches provided by Cisco to mitigate these vulnerabilities. Additionally, users should ensure that only trusted individuals have access to low-privileged accounts on the affected devices.
