The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation during the initial High Availability (HA) configuration and registration process of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a malicious file during the HA registration period. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with root -level privileges on the underlying operating system. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited during the HA registration period. See the Details section for more information. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/ cisco-sa-20191106-pi-epn-codex Affected Products o Vulnerable Products This vulnerability affects Cisco PI Software releases prior to 3.4.2, 3.5.1, 3.6.0 Update 02 and Cisco EPNM releases prior to 3.0.2. Note: Recent software changes have reduced the attack surface of this vulnerability. Cisco PI releases 3.4.1, 3.5, 3.6, and EPNM Release 3.0.1 and later up to the First Fixed Release, require authentication in order to exploit this vulnerability. All prior versions do not require authentication to be exploited. For information about which Cisco PI Software and Cisco EPNM releases are resolved, see the Fixed Software section of this advisory. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details o This vulnerability allows an attacker to upload malicious files to either the primary or secondary device during the HA registration period, which is one of the steps in the initial HA configuration. Once this HA registration process completes and the pair goes into HA active and standby roles, this vulnerability cannot be exploited. The time it takes for the HA registration process to complete for PI is dependent on a number of factors, but for a typical new HA deployment with 100 devices and a 1 Gbps link between peers, it will take approximately 25 minutes. For EPNM, this process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Workarounds o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Fixed Software o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades. When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page , to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers. Customers Without Service Contracts Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Fixed Releases This vulnerability is fixed in the following Cisco PI Software releases and later: 3.4.2 3.5.1 3.6.0 Update 02 3.7.0 This vulnerability is fixed in the following Cisco EPNM releases and later: 3.0.2 3.1 Exploitation and Public Announcements o The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of any malicious use of the vulnerability that is described in this advisory. Source o Cisco would like to thank Steven Seeley (mr_me) of Source Incite for reporting this vulnerability. Cisco Security Vulnerability Policy o To learn about Cisco security vulnerability disclosure policies and publications, see the Security Vulnerability Policy .
