Evidence used

  • CISA confirms exploitation in the wild.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • The selected CVSS metric records a network-reachable, unauthenticated path with no user interaction.
  • EPSS is 99.88% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Cisco Small Business RV320 and RV325 Routers and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

CISA KEV mirrored by ENISA

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV320 and RV325 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to retrieve sensitive information. The vulnerability is due to improper access controls for URLs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to an affected device via HTTP or HTTPS and requesting specific URLs. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to download the router configuration or detailed diagnostic information. Cisco has released firmware updates that address this vulnerability.

01

What, why and how

Cisco Small Business RV320 and RV325 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Routers contain improper access controls for URLs. Exploitation could allow an attacker to download the router configuration or detailed diagnostic information.

What

Cisco Small Business RV320 and RV325 Dual Gigabit WAN VPN Routers contain improper access controls for URLs. Exploitation could allow an attacker to download the router configuration or detailed diagnostic information.

Why

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Confirmed in the wild

CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 2021-11-03.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

Canadian Centre for Cyber Security · English · AL21-007APT Actors Target U.S. and Allied Networks - update 1

On 15 April 2021, the NSA, CISA, and FBI issued a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory [ 1 ], drawing attention to widespread scanning and exploitation of several vulnerabilities by APT actors. The advisory states that the APT actors are targeting vulnerable systems to obtain authentication credentials and enable further access within networks, including national security and government systems. Examples of recent activity include compromising SolarWinds Orion updates, targeting COVID-19 research facilities, and leveraging a VMWare vulnerability for authentication abuse. The Cybersecurity Advisory highlights the following vulnerabilities being exploited: CVE-2018-13379 Fortinet [ 2 ], [ 3 ] CVE-2019-9670 Zimbra [ 3 ] CVE-2019-11510 Pulse Secure [ 3 ], [ 4 ] CVE-2019-19781 Citrix [ 3 ] CVE-2020-4006 VMware [ 5 ] UPDATE 1 [ 6 ] CVE-2020-5902 F5 Big-IP CVE-2020-14882 Oracle WebLogic CVE-2021-21972 VMWare vSphere CVE-2019-1653 Cisco router CVE-2019-2725 Oracle WebLogic Server CVE-2019-7609 Kibana CVE-2021-26857 Exchange (SOAP payload) CVE-2021-26858 Exchange (Arbitrary files) CVE-2021-27065 Exchange (Arbitrary files) The Cyber Centre is highlighting this advisory, as it provides important information to system owners and operators responsible for defending their systems and networks from cyber threats.
