A vulnerability in the Play Framework of Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain full access to the affected system. The vulnerability is due to static, default credentials for the Cisco ESC UI that are shared between installations. An attacker who can extract the static credentials from an existing installation of Cisco ESC could generate an admin session token that allows access to all instances of the ESC web UI. This vulnerability affects Cisco Elastic Services Controller prior to releases 2.3.1.434 and 2.3.2. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc76627.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Attacker exploits static, default credentials shared across all Cisco ESC installations to forge an admin session token for the ESC web UI — monitor for unexpected or anomalous admin session token generation/use against the ESC web UI ↗
- →The attack is unauthenticated and remote — monitor for unauthenticated access attempts or successful logins to the Cisco ESC web UI from external/unexpected sources ↗
- →Vulnerability is rooted in the Play Framework component of Cisco ESC — focus detection on Play Framework session cookie forgery patterns in ESC web UI traffic ↗
- ·Affected versions are Cisco Elastic Services Controller prior to 2.3.1.434 and 2.3.2 — ensure patched versions are deployed to remediate the static credential issue ↗
- ·There are no workarounds available; software update is the only mitigation ↗
