An attacker with valid credentials could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted API request. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands as the root user. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid high-privileged credentials.","published":"2025-07-16T17:15:30.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T08:41:21.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.2,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-74"],"affected":["cisco/identity services engine","cisco/identity services engine passive identity connector"],"epss":{"score":0.1321,"percentile":0.96346,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-17","score":0.1321,"percentile":0.96336}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 13.2%, higher than 96% of all known CVEs.
