cisco-sa-esa-wsa-cert-vali-n8L97RW: Cisco Email Security Appliance and Cisco Web Security Appliance Certificate Validation Vulnerability
First published: Wed Jun 16 2021(Updated: )
A vulnerability in the Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints integration of Cisco AsyncOS for Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) and Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to intercept traffic between an affected device and the AMP servers. This vulnerability is due to improper certificate validation when an affected device establishes TLS connections. A man-in-the-middle attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted TLS packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to spoof a trusted host and then extract sensitive information or alter certain API requests. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
