CVE-2019-1629 | Cisco Integrated Management Controller Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the configuration import utility of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have write access and upload arbitrary data to the filesystem. The vulnerability is due to a failure to delete temporarily uploaded files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious file and uploading it to the affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to fill up the filesystem or upload malicious scripts.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
5.3 3.0 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:L)
Attackers could change some data, but it’s limited—not everything goes.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
