CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA critical vulnerability in Cisco ISE allows authenticated remote attackers with high-privileged administrative credentials to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system due to insecure deserialization of Java objects. Successful exploitation can lead to privilege escalation to root access, potentially causing denial of service (DoS) by making the affected ISE node unavailable, which disrupts network access for unauthenticated endpoints. Organizations using Cisco ISE should prioritize patching this vulnerability to safeguard their systems against potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description
A vulnerability in Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system of an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid high-privileged administrative credentials. This vulnerability is due to insecure deserialization of Java objects by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted serialized Java object to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain user-level access to the underlying operating system and then elevate privileges to root. In single-node deployments, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could cause the affected ISE node to become unavailable, resulting in a DoS condition. In that condition, endpoints that have not already authenticated would be unable to access the network until the node is restored.
