CVE-2019-1908 | Cisco Integrated Management Controller Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) implementation of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive system information. The vulnerability is due to insufficient security restrictions imposed by the affected software. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view sensitive information that belongs to other users. The attacker could then use this information to conduct additional attacks.

7.5 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/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:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
