To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials. \r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access sensitive files or delete arbitrary files on the affected system.","published":"2026-07-15T17:16:47.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-25T16:41:59.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":["cisco/identity services engine passive identity connector","cisco/identity services engine"],"epss":{"score":0.00499,"percentile":0.42496,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.50%).
