Credential disclosure via clear-text log storage
Published Jun 22, 2022 · Updated Nov 1, 2024
Information disclosure in Cisco ASDM 7.15 through 7.17.1.152 allows local users to read other users' credentials from log files. The logging component writes authentication credentials without encryption into files under the local user's .asdm/log directory. Exploitation requires an authenticated local user to access another user's logs on a workstation shared by multiple ASDM users.
