Cisco Security Agent 6.0 path traversal

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Cisco Security Agent 6.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 6.0 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was published 02/17/2010 with Cisco (Website). The advisory is shared at cisco.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2010-0146 since 01/04/2010. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The requirement for exploitation is a authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 69952 (Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Security Agent (cisco-sa-20100217-csa)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CISCO.

A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (56345), Tenable (69952), SecurityFocus (BID 38271†), OSVDB (62443†) and Secunia (SA38619†).
