Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco Small Business Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of requests sent to the web interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious request to the web interface of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause an unexpected reload of the device, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects firmware releases prior than 1.3.7.18

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco Small Business Switches allows unauthenticated remote attackers to send malicious requests that exploit improper input validation, causing an unexpected device reload and resulting in denial of service. The vulnerability affects firmware versions prior to 1.3.7.18.

MitigationUpgrade Cisco Small Business Switch firmware to version 1.3.7.18 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict web UI access to trusted networks or disable the web interface until the upgrade can be performed.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the switch model
    Check the physical device label or log into the switch CLI and run 'show version' to confirm the model number is one of: SG200-50, SG200-50p, SG200-50fp, SG200-26, SG200-26p, SG200-26fp, SG200-18, or SG200-10fp
    Affected if The switch is one of the listed SG200 models
  2. Check the firmware version
    Log into the switch web UI and navigate to Administration > Device Settings > Firmware, or use the CLI command 'show version' to determine the installed firmware version
    Affected if Firmware version is below 1.3.7.18
  3. Verify web UI is enabled
    In the web UI, go to Administration > Management Interface > HTTP/HTTPS Settings, or use the CLI command 'show ip http' to check if HTTP management is enabled
    Affected if The web UI (HTTP or HTTPS) is currently enabled

The switch is affected if it is a SG200 model with firmware version earlier than 1.3.7.18 and the web UI is accessible
