CVE-2018-15379

89
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-15379 is a critical vulnerability in Cisco Prime Infrastructure's HTTP web server, stemming from incorrect directory permissions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by uploading arbitrary files via TFTP through the web interface, leading to remote code execution at the privilege level of the 'prime' user. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical) and an EPSS score indicating high exploitability, this flaw allows for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Exploit intelligence confirms the existence of public exploit modules, including a Metasploit module and an ExploitDB entry, though there is no indication of active exploitation in the wild or significant community discussion.
