CVE-2021-1487
CWE-78


Summary

    A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Prime
Infrastructure and Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Manager could
allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on
an affected system.

    The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied
input to the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit
this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to the interface. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary
commands on the underlying operating system (OS) with the permissions of
a special non-root user. In this way, an attacker could take control of
the affected system, which would allow them to obtain and alter
sensitive data. The attacker could also affect the devices that are
managed by the affected system by pushing arbitrary configuration files,
retrieving device credentials and confidential information, and
ultimately undermining the stability of the devices, causing a denial of
service (DoS) condition.

    Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Affected Products

    Vulnerable Products

    This vulnerability affects Cisco Prime Infrastructure releases
earlier than Release 3.9 and Cisco EPN Manager releases earlier than
Release 5.1.

    For information about which Cisco software releases are vulnerable,
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.


Workarounds

    There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.


Fixed Software

    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 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

    Cisco fixed this vulnerability in the following releases:
        Cisco Prime Infrastructure releases 3.9 and later
        Cisco EPN Manager releases 5.1 and later
