Summary

A vulnerability in the SAML 2.0 SSO implementation for Clientless SSL VPN and AnyConnect Remote Access VPN in Cisco ASA and FTD could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to establish a VPN session. The issue is due to improper credential management when using NTLM or basic authentication. An attacker could open a VPN session after another user authenticates via SAML SSO, allowing connection to secured networks.

Risk Assessment

The risk is unauthorized access to internal networks, potentially leading to data confidentiality breaches and unauthorized actions.

Recommendation

Upgrade Cisco ASA and FTD software to patched versions and implement stronger authentication mechanisms.

Original NVD description (English source)

A vulnerability in the implementation of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) for Clientless SSL VPN (WebVPN) and AnyConnect Remote Access VPN in Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to successfully establish a VPN session to an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper credential management when using NT LAN Manager (NTLM) or basic authentication. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by opening a VPN session to an affected device after another VPN user has successfully authenticated to the affected device via SAML SSO. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to connect to secured networks behind the affected device.
