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-2019-15262 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC). 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-2019-15262/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15262/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-15262","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15262/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-15262","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mhfm-gfg6-rpxf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Wireless LAN Controller","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause denial of service on Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers by exhausting resources through repeated SSH connections.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"5508_wireless_lan_controller_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"5520_wireless_lan_controller_firmware","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-404","name":"Improper Resource Shutdown or Release"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the Secure Shell (SSH) session management for Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability exists because the SSH process is not properly deleted when an SSH connection to the device is disconnected. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by repeatedly opening SSH connections to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to exhaust system resources by initiating multiple SSH connections to the device that are not effectively terminated, which could result in a DoS condition.","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":"Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Secure Shell Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-15262","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Aironet Access Points and Catalyst 9100 Access Points CAPWAP Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-15264"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco Aironet Access Points Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-15261"},"products":["Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)"],"published":"2019-10-16","related":[],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-19","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause denial of service on Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers by exhausting resources through repeated SSH connections.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15262/"}
