Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager and Prime Infrastructure (the affected version is unknown). It has been rated as critical. This issue affects an unknown code of the component REST API. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A vulnerability in a subset of REST APIs of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) could allow an authenticated, low-privileged, remote attacker to conduct a blind SQL injection attack. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to an affected API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view data in some database tables on an affected device.

It is possible to read the advisory at sec.cloudapps.cisco.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2025-20272 since 10/10/2024. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.
