CVE-2019-1919

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the Cisco FindIT Network Management Software virtual
    machine (VM) images could allow an unauthenticated, local attacker who has
    access to the VM console to log in to the device with a static account that
    has root privileges.

    The vulnerability is due to the presence of an account with static
    credentials in the underlying Linux operating system. An attacker could
    exploit this vulnerability by logging in to the command line of the
    affected VM with the static account. A successful exploit could allow the
    attacker to log in with root -level privileges.

    Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
    are workarounds that address this vulnerability.

    This advisory is available at the following link:

Affected Products

  o Vulnerable Products

    This vulnerability affects only Cisco FindIT Network Manager and Cisco
    FindIT Network Probe Release 1.1.4 if these products are using
    Cisco-supplied VM images. No other releases or deployment models are known
    to be vulnerable.

    Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

    Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
    are known to be affected by this vulnerability.

    Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco FindIT
    Network Discovery Utility or Cisco FindIT Plugin for Kaseya.

Workarounds

  o As a workaround, administrators may issue the following command at a shell
    prompt on the local VM, disabling access to the root account.

        > sudo passwd -dl root

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

    Customers are advised to upgrade to an appropriate fixed software release
    as indicated in the following table:

    Cisco FindIT Network Management         Recommended Release for This
    Software Release                        Vulnerability
