Vulnerability Alert Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center Web Framework HTTP
Header Redirection Vulnerability
Threat Type: CWE-20: Input Validation
IntelliShield ID: 38486
Version: 1
First Published: 2015 April 22 15:31 GMT
Last Published: 2015 April 22 15:31 GMT
Port: Not available
CVE: CVE-2015-0706
Urgency: Unlikely Use
Credibility: Confirmed
Severity: Harassment
CVSS Base: 4.3
CVSS Version 2.0
CVSS Temporal: 3.6
Version Summary: Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center contains a vulnerability
that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a web page
redirection attack. Updates are available.
Description
A vulnerability in the web framework of Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject a crafted HTTP
header that causes users to be redirected to a malicious website.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input before it is
used as an HTTP header value. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
persuading a user to access a crafted URL. A successful exploit could allow
the attacker to conduct a web page redirection attack.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
Warning Indicators
At the time this alert was first published, Cisco FireSIGHT System Software
versions 5.3.1.1, 5.3.1.2, and 6.0.0 were vulnerable. Later versions of Cisco
FireSIGHT System Software may also be vulnerable.
IntelliShield Analysis
To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may provide a link that directs a
user to a malicious site and use misleading language or instructions to
persuade the user to follow the link.
Cisco would like to thank Or Moran, Lior Neumann, Liad Mizrachi, and Oded
Vanunu from Check Point Security Research Team for reporting this
vulnerability.
Vendor Announcements
Cisco has released bug IDs CSCut06060, CSCut06056, and CSCus98966 for
registered users that contain additional details and an up-to-date list of
affected product versions.
Impact
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to conduct
a web page redirection attack against a user's browser.
Technical Information
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input before it is
used as an HTTP header value by an affected device.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
persuading a user to access a crafted URL. A successful exploit could allow
the attacker to conduct a web page redirection attack, which could be used to
conduct further attacks.
Safeguards
Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.
Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.
Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems.

Vulnerability Alert
Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center Web Framework Stored Cross-Site Scripting
Vulnerability
Threat Type: CWE-79: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
IntelliShield ID: 38487
Version: 1
First Published: 2015 April 22 20:33 GMT
Last Published: 2015 April 22 20:33 GMT
Port: Not available
CVE: CVE-2015-0707
Urgency: Unlikely Use
Credibility: Confirmed
Severity: Mild Damage
CVSS Base: 3.5
CVSS Version 2.0
CVSS Temporal: 2.9
Version Summary: Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center contains a vulnerability
that could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored
cross-site scripting attack. Updates are available.
Description
A vulnerability in the web framework of Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center (MC)
could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute a stored cross-site
scripting (XSS) attack against the user of the web interface.
The vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of parameter values. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious code into an
affected parameter and then convincing the user to access a web page that
would require reading or executing the parameter.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
Warning Indicators
At the time this alert was first published, Cisco FireSIGHT System Software
versions 5.3.1.1 and 6.0.0 were vulnerable. Later versions of Cisco FireSIGHT
System Software may also be vulnerable.
IntelliShield Analysis
To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker must have authenticated access in
order to inject malicious code into a parameter within the affected
application. This access requirement may decrease the likelihood of a
successful exploit.
The attacker may provide a link that directs a targeted user to a malicious
site and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to
follow the link.
Cisco would like to thank Or Moran, Lior Neumann, Liad Mizrachi, and Oded
Vanunu from Check Point Security Research Team for reporting this
vulnerability.
Vendor Announcements
Cisco has released bug ID CSCus85425 for registered users that contains
additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions.
Impact
An authenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to execute
arbitrary script or HTML in the user's session, which could be leveraged to
access sensitive browser-based information. The attacker could use this
information to conduct further attacks.
Technical Information
The vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of parameter values within
the web framework of the affected software.
An authenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
injecting malicious code into affected parameter values and then convincing
the user to access a web page that would require reading or executing the
parameter. A successful exploit could give the attacker the ability to execute
arbitrary script or HTML in the user's session, which could be leveraged to
conduct further attacks.
Safeguards
Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.
Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.
For additional information about XSS attacks and the methods used to exploit
these vulnerabilities, see the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin Understanding
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Threat Vectors.
Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems.
Patches/Software
Cisco customers with active contracts can obtain updates through the Software
Center at the following link: Cisco. Cisco customers without contracts can
