o Vulnerable Products
These vulnerabilities affect Cisco IND.
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 these vulnerabilities.
Details
o The vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another. Exploitation of one
of the vulnerabilities is not required to exploit the other vulnerability.
In addition, a software release that is affected by one of the
vulnerabilities may not be affected by the other vulnerability.
Details about the vulnerabilities are as follows:
CVE-2023-20037: Cisco Industrial Network Director Stored Cross-Site
Scripting Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Cisco IND could allow an authenticated, remote attacker
to conduct stored XSS attacks.
This vulnerability is due to improper validation of content that is
submitted to the affected application. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending malicious HTTPS requests to an affected system. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script
code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive,
browser-based information.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Bug ID(s): CSCwc29356
CVE ID: CVE-2023-20037
Security Impact Rating (SIR): Medium
CVSS Base Score: 5.4
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
CVE-2023-20038: Cisco Industrial Network Director Static Private Key
Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the monitoring application of Cisco IND could allow an
authenticated, local attacker to access a static private key that is used
to encrypt both local data and credentials for accessing remote systems.
This vulnerability exists because a static key value that is stored in the
application can be used to encrypt application data and remote credentials.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by gaining local access to the
server on which Cisco IND is installed. A successful exploit could allow
the attacker to decrypt local data or access remote systems monitored by
Cisco IND.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Bug ID(s): CSCwc29341
CVE ID: CVE-2023-20038
Security Impact Rating (SIR): High
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerabilities
described in this advisory. Customers with service contracts that entitle
them to regular software updates should obtain security fixes through their
usual update channels.
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.
The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information
about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device
support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool.
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.
