CISCO SSO AUTHENTICATION BUG PATCHED

By Richard Chirgwin

Sep 7 2023 12:17PM



BROADWORKS PLATFORMS VULNERABLE.

Cisco has announced patches for a critical credential forgery bug in some of its
BroadWorks platforms.



The networking vendor said CVE-2023-20238 affects the single sign-on
implementation used by its BroadWorks Xtended Services platform and BroadWorks
application delivery platform.

The bug “could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to forge the
credentials required to access an affected system”, the advisory stated.



An attacker using a valid user ID to authenticate with forged credentials could
commit toll fraud, the advisory said, or “execute commands at the privilege
level of the forged account” – all the way up to administrator level.

At that level, “the attacker would have the ability to view confidential
information, modify customer settings, or modify settings for other users.”



The two BroadWorks platforms are affected if they have any of the following
applications enabled: AuthenticationService, BWCallCenter, BWReceptionist,
CustomMediaFilesRetrieval, ModeratorClientApp, PublicECLQuery, PublicReporting,
UCAPI, Xsi-Actions, Xsi-Events, Xsi-MMTel, or Xsi-VTR," Cisco said.

Users of BroadWorks Application Delivery and Xtended Services version 22 or
below need to migrate to a fixed release; a patch is available for users on
version 23 branches.

In a separate advisory, Cisco also announced a high-severity denial-of-service
bug in its Identity Services Engine (ISE), CVE-2023-20243.

The ISE’s RADIUS message processor, present in a number of network access
devices, can be crashed with a crafted packet.

Another four less severe bugs were patched in Cisco’s latest cycle.
