AI-suggested

  1. Upgrade ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine to version 26.2.10 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed.
  2. Restrict NAC administrator privileges strictly on a need-to-know basis and enforce strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce risk of account compromise.
  3. Monitor and audit NAC administrator activities and HTTP traffic to detect any attempts to access or exfiltrate sensitive credential information.
  4. Implement network segmentation and least privilege principles to limit the impact if credentials are exposed.
  5. Review and rotate any credentials that may have been exposed or stored within XIQ-SE, especially if there is suspicion of unauthorized access.
  6. Employ secure coding and response handling practices in future deployments to ensure sensitive data is never returned in plaintext within HTTP responses, even if masked in the UI.
  7. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on administrative interfaces to identify similar issues proactively.

Description

In ExtremeCloud IQ – Site Engine (XIQ‑SE) before 26.2.10, a vulnerability in the NAC administration interface allows an authenticated NAC administrator to retrieve masked sensitive parameters from HTTP responses. Although credentials appear redacted in the user interface, the application returns the underlying credential values in the HTTP response, enabling an authorized administrator to recover stored secrets that may exceed their intended access. We would like to thank the Lockheed Martin Red Team for responsibly reporting this issue and working with us through coordinated disclosure.
