Title
Cisco ThousandEyes BrowserBot Command Injection Vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability in the BrowserBot component of Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent could have allowed an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on Agents on behalf of the BrowserBot synthetics orchestration process. Cisco has addressed this vulnerability in the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent, and no customer action is needed.
This vulnerability was due to insufficient input validation of command arguments that are supplied by the user. Prior to this vulnerability being addressed, an attacker could have exploited this vulnerability by authenticating to the ThousandEyes SaaS and submitting crafted input into the affected parameter. A successful exploit could have allowed the attacker to execute arbitrary commands within the BrowserBot container as the node user.
To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid user credentials for the ThousandEyes SaaS and the ability to manage transaction tests.

Title
Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent Arbitrary File Overwrite Vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent could allow an authenticated, local attacker with low privileges to overwrite arbitrary files on the local system of an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper access controls on files that are on the local file system of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing a symbolic link in a specific location on the local file system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass file system permissions and overwrite arbitrary files on the affected device.

Title
Cisco ThousandEyes BrowserBot Command Injection Vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability in the BrowserBot component of Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent could have allowed an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on Agents on behalf of the BrowserBot synthetics orchestration process. Cisco has addressed this vulnerability in the Cisco ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent, and no customer action is needed.
This vulnerability was due to insufficient input validation of command arguments that are supplied by the user. Prior to this vulnerability being addressed, an attacker could have exploited this vulnerability by authenticating to the ThousandEyes SaaS and submitting crafted input into the affected parameter. A successful exploit could have allowed the attacker to execute arbitrary commands within the BrowserBot container as the node user.
To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid user credentials for the ThousandEyes SaaS and the ability to manage transaction tests.
