An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-5538 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Identity Services Engine. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-5538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-5538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-5538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-5538/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-5538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p4gw-4f9m-3rw4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Identity Services Engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files in Cisco ISE Sponsor Portal due to weak file permissions, requiring no authentication.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"identity_services_engine","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"identity_services_engine_software","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The Sponsor Portal in Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) uses weak permissions for uploaded files, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a direct request, aka Bug ID CSCui67506.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-5538","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:identity_services_engine","products":["cisco:identity_services_engine"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-5539"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-5537"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-10-16","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs","id":"CVE-2026-76460","kev_date_added":"2026-09-16","published":"2026-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Injection","id":"CVE-2025-20337","kev_date_added":"2025-07-28","published":"2025-07-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Injection","id":"CVE-2025-20281","kev_date_added":"2025-07-28","published":"2025-06-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Hardening Release - Improper Neutralization Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-20130","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Identity Services Engine Hardening Release - Access Control Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2026-20192","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco ISE API Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-20282","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3290","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-09-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files in Cisco ISE Sponsor Portal due to weak file permissions, requiring no authentication.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-5538/"}
