CERT-In Vulnerability Note CIVN-2026-0463
Cisco Identity Services Engine Vulnerabilities

Original Issue Date:September 17, 2026

Severity Rating: CRITICAL

Systems Affected

  • Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)
  • Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC)

Overview

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication to the REST API, achieve remote code execution, perform SQL injection, and conduct XML External Entity injection attacks on an affected device.

Target Audience: 
All IT administrators and individuals responsible for maintaining and updating in Software.

Risk Assessment:
High risk of data manipulation and service disruption.

Impact Assessment:
Potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.

Description

1. Authentication Bypass Vulnerability ( CVE-2026-76423   )

This vulnerability exists due to REST API web service being exposed with insufficient authorization checks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the exposed REST API port.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to read and modify ISE configuration and identity data with administrative privileges.

2.  Arbitrary File Access Vulnerability ( CVE-2026-76424   )

This vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation in file operations. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a file with a crafted path.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to upload files to arbitrary locations and execute arbitrary commands as root on the affected device.

3.  SQL Injection Vulnerability ( CVE-2026-76425   CVE-2026-76426   CVE-2026-76428   )

These vulnerabilities exist due to insufficient validation of certain parameters that are concatenated directly into an SQL query, certain parameters being concatenated directly into SQL clauses without parameterization. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request that contains SQL statements to an affected endpoint.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to read arbitrary content from the SQL database and conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks.

4.  External Entity Injection Vulnerability ( CVE-2026-76427   )

This vulnerability exists due to the parsing of attacker-controlled feed metadata with an XML parser that does not disable external entity resolution. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted offline feed package through the administrative interface.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the file system and issue requests to internal systems from the affected device.
