A vulnerability in the authorization mechanism of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to obtain an endpoint identity certificate. This vulnerability is due to improper authorization checks. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass authorization to obtain an endpoint certificate.
