Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator Application Services Engine Deployment
Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
Priority: Critical
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-mso-authbyp-bb5GmBQv
First Published: 2021 February 24 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvw14141
CVE Names: CVE-2021-1388
CWEs: CWE-269
Summary
o A vulnerability in an API endpoint of Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator
(MSO) installed on the Application Services Engine could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication on an affected
device.
The vulnerability is due to improper token validation on a specific API
endpoint. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted
request to the affected API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker
to receive a token with administrator-level privileges that could be used
to authenticate to the API on affected MSO and managed Cisco Application
Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) devices.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Affected Products
o Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO) running
a 3.0 release of software only when deployed on a Cisco Application
Services Engine.
The MSO can be deployed in the following ways:
MSO cluster in a Cisco Application Services Engine. The MSO software
image can be identified by an 'aci' extension.
MSO nodes deployed as VMs on a Hypervisor. The MSO software image can
be identified by an 'ova' extension.
For more 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
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 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.
