# 🔒 **CVE-2025-20343: Cisco ISE RADIUS Suppression DoS Vulnerability** 🌐

---

## ⚠️ **Overview**  
🚨 **High-severity** denial-of-service (DoS) flaw in **Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)**!  
💥 An **unauthenticated remote attacker** can **crash the device** with crafted RADIUS packets.  
📅 **Disclosed**: November 5, 2025  
✅ **No known exploitation in the wild** (yet!)

---

## 🛠️ **How It Works**  
🔄 A **logic error** in the **"Reject RADIUS requests from clients with repeated failures"** setting.  
🕵️‍♂️ Attacker sends **crafted RADIUS Access-Requests** targeting a **rejected MAC address**.  
💣 Triggers **unexpected restart** → **DoS condition**  
🌍 Requires **network access** to RADIUS port — **no auth needed**!

> **CWE-697**: Incorrect Comparison Logic

---

## 📊 **Severity Score**  
**🔴 CVSS v3.1: 8.6 (High)**  
```
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H
```
| Metric | Value | Meaning |
|--------|-------|--------|
| 🔗 **Attack Vector** | Network | Remotely exploitable |
| ⚡ **Complexity** | Low | No special skills/tools |
| 🛡️ **Privileges** | None | Unauthenticated |
| 👤 **User Interaction** | None | Fully automated |
| 🌍 **Scope** | Changed | Impacts beyond ISE |
| 🔒 **Confidentiality** | None | No data leak |
| ✅ **Integrity** | None | No tampering |
| ⛔ **Availability** | **High** | Full service outage |

---

## 🖥️ **Affected Systems**  
**Product**: Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)  
**Vulnerable Versions**:
- 3.4.0
- 3.4 Patch 1
- 3.4 Patch 2
- 3.4 Patch 3

> **Only if using RADIUS (802.1X, VPN, etc.)**  
> **HA clusters may reduce downtime via failover**

---

## 🛡️ **Exploitation Status**  
| Status | Details |
|-------|--------|
| 🚫 **In the Wild** | None reported |
| ⚙️ **Difficulty** | **Low** – Just send repeated RADIUS packets |
| 🎯 **Likely Target** | Enterprises using ISE for NAC, Wi-Fi, or VPN auth |

---

## 🛑 **Mitigation & Fixes**  

**🔧 Fix It**  
- **Upgrade** to patched ISE version (check Cisco advisory)  
- 📌 Apply **ASAP** — easy to exploit!

**🔥 Workarounds**  
- **Disable** “Reject repeated failures” (⚠️ reduces brute-force protection)  
- **Filter** RADIUS traffic with ACLs/firewalls  
- **Deploy HA** with tested failover  

**🛡️ Best Practices**  
- 🧪 Test patches in lab first  
- 📡 Monitor for: restarts, RADIUS spikes, auth failures  
- ⏰ Patch during maintenance windows
