Summary

A vulnerability in the detection engine of Cisco FireSIGHT System Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass file policies designed to block certain file transfers via FTP. This flaw arises from improper handling of FTP control connections within the software. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker can send a specially crafted FTP connection to upload files to the affected device, evading security measures configured to enforce file transfer restrictions. This poses a significant risk as it undermines the integrity of file policy enforcement.
