IdentifiersCVE-2023-20263CWE-601· URL Redirection to Untrusted Site…

CVE-2023-20263 is an open redirect vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform. The vulnerability arises from improper input validation of HTTP request parameters, allowing an unauthenticated, remote attacker to craft a link that, when clicked by a user, redirects them to a malicious website. This can be exploited for phishing or further attacks.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to redirect users to attacker-controlled sites, facilitating phishing, credential theft, or further exploitation. While it does not directly enable code execution, it can be leveraged in social engineering campaigns or as part of a broader attack chain.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

As interim mitigation, restrict access to the management interface to trusted networks, educate users to avoid clicking suspicious links, and monitor for suspicious HTTP requests targeting the management interface.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the security updates provided by Cisco that address improper input validation in the affected web management interface. Refer to Cisco's official advisory for patch details and affected versions.
