Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow a remote attacker to conduct path traversal attacks on an affected device. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details ["#details"] section of this advisory. Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities. This advisory is part of a group of advisories. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Advance Notification for Publication of September 16, 2026, Security Advisories ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-notice-jfxK98ZP"]. In addition, for further documentation of improvements and fixes in Cisco Identity Services Engine, see Cisco Identity Services Engine Security Hardening Release: September 2026 ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-hardening-ise-XU5EwX5T"].

A vulnerability in the client provisioning download feature of Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access protected files on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of directory traversal character sequences in a user-supplied path when the software processes provisioning resource requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the provisioning download service. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access protected files without authentication, potentially exposing sensitive information.

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) und ISE-PIC ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen – sogar mit Root-Rechten –, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Berechtigungen zu erweitern, SQL-Injection-Angriffe durchzuführen, Sitzungen zu übernehmen, sensible Informationen oder Anmeldedaten offenzulegen, Daten zu manipulieren, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen und Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen.
