The vulnerability is due to a fault in the password management system of NAE. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating with the default administrator password via the CLI of an affected server. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view potentially sensitive information or bring the server down, causing a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) Release 3.0(1). The default password condition only affects new installations of Release 3.0(1).","severity":{"version":"3.0","score":7.7,"vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-08","score":0.0029,"percentile":0.2172,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-798"],"published":"2019-02-12T19:29:00.247Z","modified":"2026-06-17T02:29:02Z","products":[{"vendor":"cisco","product":"cisco network assurance engine"},{"vendor":"cisco","product":"network_assurance_engine"}],"references":[{"url":"https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190212-nae-dos","tags":["vendor-advisory","x_refsource_CISCO","x_transferred","Vendor Advisory"]},{"url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/107010","tags":["vdb-entry","x_refsource_BID","x_transferred","Broken Link","Third Party Advisory","VDB Entry"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-1688"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h8pv-5j53-pm62"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2019-1688","title":"Cisco Network Assurance Engine CLI Access with Default Password Vulnerability","description":"A vulnerability in the management web interface of Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) could allow an unauthenticated, local attacker to gain unauthorized access or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition on the server.
