LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

Cisco DNA Center stores unencrypted credentials in device configuration, allowing authenticated remote attackers to view sensitive information.

Vulnerability

A vulnerability in Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Center allows an authenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive information in clear text. The bug stems from insecure storage of certain unencrypted credentials on affected devices [1]. Cisco DNA Center releases earlier than Release 1.2.10 are vulnerable [1].

Exploitation

An attacker must first authenticate to the affected Cisco DNA Center web interface. Once authenticated, they can view the network device configuration and obtain credentials that they would not normally have access to [1]. No additional privileges, race conditions, or user interaction beyond standard authenticated access are required.

Impact

A successful exploit allows the attacker to discover and manage network devices using the obtained credentials [1]. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure and potential compromise of network infrastructure managed by DNA Center.

Mitigation

Cisco has released software updates to address this vulnerability in Cisco DNA Center Release 1.2.10 and later [1]. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability [1]. Users should upgrade to a fixed version as soon as possible.
