He reported the flaw to Cisco, which labelled it <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.cisco.com\/security\/center\/content\/CiscoSecurityAdvisory\/cisco-sa-20181107-sbsw-privacc\">CVE-2018-15439<\/a>. It affects the Small Business 200 Series, 250 Series, 300 Series, 350 Series, 350X Series, 500 Series and 500X Series switches.<\/p>\n<p>Unless the admin creates a user account with top-level privilege (Privilege 15 in Cisco-speak), the undocumented root account will persist; and if someone deletes all users with Privilege 15, the switch will re-create the account. There&#8217;s no patch in the works, but the workaround is simple: create a Privilege 15 user.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Threat detected in threat detection kit<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Stealthwatch is Cisco&#8217;s enterprise threat detection and forensics software, and it had an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.cisco.com\/security\/center\/content\/CiscoSecurityAdvisory\/cisco-sa-20181107-smc-auth-bypass\">insecure system configuration<\/a> that let a remote attacker bypass the management console authentication with &#8220;crafted HTTP packets&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Designated CVE-2018-15394, the bug affected Stealthwatch Enterprise versions 6.10.2 and prior.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Are you Java a laugh?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you drew &#8220;Java deserialisation bug&#8221; in the sweepstake, your number came up in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.cisco.com\/security\/center\/content\/CiscoSecurityAdvisory\/cisco-sa-20181107-cue%20CVE-2018-15381\">Cisco Unity Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cisco explained the impact of the insecure deserialisation this way: &#8220;An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious serialised Java object to the listening Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) service. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device with root privileges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unity Express versions prior to 9.0.6 were affected.
