commanddnslookup
  • Monitor HTTP requests to the Cisco CSP 2100 web interface containing a crafted 'dnslookup' command parameter, which is the attack vector for this RCE vulnerability.
  • The exploit is unauthenticated — any HTTP request carrying a malicious dnslookup value from an unauthenticated source should be treated as suspicious.
  • The root cause is insufficient input sanitization of HTTP request values — look for shell metacharacters or command injection payloads embedded within the dnslookup parameter of HTTP requests to the CSP 2100 web interface.
  • ·Affected version is Cisco CSP 2100 version 2.0 only — scope detection rules accordingly.
  • ·No workarounds are available; patching via Cisco software updates is the only remediation. Unpatched systems remain fully exposed to unauthenticated RCE.
