Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software and Firepower Threat Defense
Software Web Services Read-Only Path Traversal Vulnerability

CVE-2020-3452
CWE-20

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the web services interface of Cisco Adaptive Security
    Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software
    could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct directory
    traversal attacks and read sensitive files on a targeted system.

    The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper input validation of URLs in
    HTTP requests processed by an affected device. An attacker could exploit
    this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request containing directory
    traversal character sequences to an affected device. A successful exploit
    could allow the attacker to view arbitrary files within the web services
    file system on the targeted device. As an example , this could allow an
    attacker to impersonate another VPN user and establish a Clientless SSL VPN
    or AnyConnect VPN session to the device as that user.

    The web services file system is enabled when the affected device is
    configured with either WebVPN or AnyConnect features. This vulnerability
    cannot be used to obtain access to ASA or FTD system files, underlying
    operating system (OS) files, or VPN user login credentials.

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

    Note: Cisco has become aware of the availability of public exploit code and
    active exploitation of the vulnerability that is described in this
    advisory. Cisco encourages customers with affected products to upgrade to a
    fixed release as soon as possible.

Affected Products

  o Vulnerable Products

    This vulnerability affects Cisco products if they are running a vulnerable
    release of Cisco ASA Software or Cisco FTD Software with a vulnerable
    AnyConnect or WebVPN configuration.

    ASA Software

    In the following table, the left column lists the Cisco ASA features that
    are vulnerable. The right column indicates the basic configuration for the
    feature from the show running-config CLI command. If the device is
    configured for one of these features, it is vulnerable.

    Cisco ASA                       Vulnerable Configuration
     Feature
    AnyConnect
    IKEv2
    Remote     crypto ikev2 enable <interface_name> client-services port <port #>
    Access
    (with
    client
    services)
    AnyConnect webvpn
    SSL VPN     enable <interface_name>

    Clientless webvpn
    SSL VPN     enable <interface_name>

    FTD Software

    In the following table, the left column lists the Cisco FTD features that
    are vulnerable. The right column indicates the basic configuration for the
    feature from the show running-config CLI command. If the device is
    configured for one of these features, it is vulnerable.

    On devices running Cisco FTD Software, the show running-config command is
    available from Diagnostic CLI mode only. To enter Diagnostic CLI mode, use
    the system support diagnostic-cli command in the regular Firepower Threat
    Defense CLI.

    Cisco FTD                       Vulnerable Configuration
     Feature
    AnyConnect
    IKEv2
    Remote
    Access     crypto ikev2 enable <interface_name> client-services port <port #>
    (with
    client
    services)
    ^1,2
    AnyConnect webvpn
    SSL VPN ^   enable <interface_name>
    1,2

    1. Remote Access VPN features are enabled via Devices > VPN > Remote Access
    in the Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) or via Device > Remote
    Access VPN in Cisco Firepower Device Manager (FDM).
    2. Remote Access VPN features were first supported as of Cisco FTD Software
    Release 6.2.2.

    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 Firepower
    Management Center (FMC) Software.

Details

  o The attacker can view files within the web services file system only. The
    web services file system is enabled for the WebVPN and AnyConnect features
    outlined in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory; therefore,
    this vulnerability does not apply to the ASA and FTD system files or
    underlying operating system (OS) files. The web services files that the
    attacker can view may have information such as WebVPN configuration,
    bookmarks, web cookies, partial web content, and HTTP URLs.

Workarounds

  o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

    To help detect and/or block attempts to exploit the vulnerability that is
    described in this advisory, customers who use the SSL Decryption feature
    for affected traffic on Cisco Firepower sensors can enable Snort rules
    54598 through 54601, from SRU number 2020-07-22-001 , by using the Cisco
    Firepower Management Center.

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 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

    In the following table(s), the left column lists Cisco software releases.
    The right column indicates whether a release is affected by the
    vulnerability described in this advisory and the first release that
    includes the fix for this vulnerability.
