CVE-2019-12673
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
High risk76th percentile - higher than 76% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in the FTP inspection engine of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. It is due to insufficient validation of FTP data. An attacker could exploit this by sending malicious FTP traffic through the device.
Risk Assessment
A successful exploit could cause a DoS condition on the device, disrupting traffic processing and potentially impacting network service availability.
Recommendation
Apply Cisco updates for ASA and FTD. Monitor FTP traffic and consider restrictions to reduce exploitation risk.

- CVE-2014-2127High
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software versions before 8.2(5.48), 8.3 before 8.3(2.40), 8.4 before 8.4(7.9), 8.6 before 8.6(1.13), 9.0 before 9.0(4.1), and 9.1 before 9.1(4.3) does not properly process management-session information during privilege validation for SSL VPN portal connections. This allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by establishing a Clientless SSL VPN session and entering crafted URLs.
- CVE-2014-2126High
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software versions before 8.2(5.47), 8.4(7.5), 8.7(1.11), 9.0(3.10), and 9.1(3.4) allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges by leveraging level-0 ASDM access.
- CVE-2025-20182High
A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol processing of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software, Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software, Cisco IOS Software, and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The issue is due to insufficient input validation when processing IKEv2 messages. Sending crafted IKEv2 traffic can cause the device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
- CVE-2024-20426High
A vulnerability in the Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol for VPN termination of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The issue is due to insufficient input validation. Sending crafted IKEv2 traffic can cause the device to reload, resulting in a DoS condition.
- CVE-2024-20382Medium
A vulnerability in the VPN web client services feature of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a browser accessing an affected device. The issue is due to improper validation of user-supplied input to application endpoints.
