Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2018-10-05 14:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 01:42
Severity
8.1 (High) - CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Summary
A vulnerability in the MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) using Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) functionality of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to bypass authentication and pass traffic through a Layer 3 interface of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to a logic error in the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to and passing traffic through a Layer 3 interface of an affected device, if the interface is configured for MACsec MKA using EAP-TLS and is running in access-session closed mode. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass 802.1x network access controls and gain access to the network.
