What it is
A vulnerability in the RADIUS Policy API endpoints of Cisco ISE could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with read-only Administrator privileges to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper role-based access control (RBAC) permissions on the RADIUS Policy API endpoints. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by bypassing the web-based management interface and directly calling an affected endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain unauthorized read access to sensitive RADIUS Policy details that are restricted for their role.
Exploitation
The Cisco PSIRT is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory.
