CVE-2018-0196
A vulnerability in the web-based user interface (web UI) of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files to the operating system of an affected device.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.98%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
A vulnerability in the web-based user interface (web UI) of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to write arbitrary files to the operating system of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of HTTP requests that are sent to the web UI of the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious HTTP request to the web UI of the affected software. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to write arbitrary files to the operating system of an affected device. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvb22645.
