A vulnerability in Server Name Identification (SNI) request filtering of Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA), Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD), and the Snort detection engine could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass filtering technology on an affected device and exfiltrate data from a compromised host. This vulnerability is due to inadequate filtering of the SSL handshake. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using data from the SSL client hello packet to communicate with an external server. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute a command-and-control attack on a compromised host and perform additional data exfiltration attacks.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Content Security Management Appliance (SMA), Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA), and Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive information on an affected device. The vulnerability exists because confidential information is included in HTTP requests that are exchanged between the user and the device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by looking at the raw HTTP requests that are sent to the interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to obtain some of the passwords that are configured throughout the interface.

Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance does not check for certificate revocation which could lead to MITM attacks

Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance up to and including 7.5 does not validate the basic constraints of the certificate authority which could lead to MITM attacks

Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliance AsyncOS software prior to 7.5 has a SSL Certificate Caching vulnerability which could allow man-in-the-middle attacks

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web management interface in Cisco AsyncOS on the Email Security Appliance (ESA) 8.0, Web Security Appliance (WSA) 8.0 (.5 Hot Patch 1) and earlier, and Content Security Management Appliance (SMA) 8.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted parameter, as demonstrated by the date_range parameter to monitor/reports/overview on the IronPort ESA, aka Bug IDs CSCun07998, CSCun07844, and CSCun07888.
