"According to its
self-reported version, Cisco Identity Services Engine Software is
affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.  The vulnerability
is due to improper controls on certain pages in the web interface. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the
device with an administrator account and sending a crafted HTTP
request. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to create
additional Admin accounts with different user roles. An attacker could
then use these accounts to perform actions within their scope. The
attacker would need valid Admin credentials for the device. This
vulnerability cannot be exploited to add a Super Admin account.

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for
more information");
