CVE-2017-12317
The Cisco AMP For Endpoints application allows an authenticated, local attacker to access a static key value stored in the local application software.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The Cisco AMP For Endpoints application allows an authenticated, local attacker to access a static key value stored in the local application software. The vulnerability is due to the use of a static key value stored in the application used to encrypt the connector protection password.
