Cisco Secure Firewall ASA multiple context mode SCP cross-context file access
A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software when operating in multiple context mode could allow an authenticated local attacker with administrative privileges in a non-admin context to copy files to or from other contexts (including admin and system contexts) via crafted Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) copy commands. The issue is caused by improper access controls for SCP operations when the CiscoSSH stack is enabled, enabling cross-context read/create/overwrite of sensitive files such as configuration files. The attacker cannot enumerate files in other contexts and must know the exact target file path, increasing exploitation complexity.
