Summary
A vulnerability in the web framework of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing Server could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass
certain access-control settings which may lead to the disclosure of
information due to the attacker accessing restricted pages.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of parameters passed by
the endpoint client to the server. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by modifying requests from the client or crafting malicious HTTP
requests and submitting them to the affected system. Successful exploitation
could allow the attacker to access certain areas of the web interface that
require authorization.
