CVE-2005-4332

CVE-2005-4332 describes a critical authentication bypass and denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Cisco Clean Access 3.5.5 and earlier on the Secure Smart Manager. Attackers can exploit this by directly requesting obsolete JSP files, enabling unauthorized file uploads or system disruption. With a CVSS score of 9.4 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:C/A:C), it represents a high-severity risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete impact on integrity and availability. Despite its age and high severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code in common frameworks like Metasploit or Nuclei, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
