Version Summary: Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution contains a vulnerability
that could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary
commands. Updates are available.
Description
A vulnerability in the administrative web interface of Cisco Hosted
Collaboration Solution (HCS) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to
execute arbitrary commands on the affected system and on the devices managed
by the affected system.
The vulnerability is due to improper user input validation. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by crafting input into the affected fields of the
web interface on a targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the
attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device or on other devices
managed by the device, which could be leveraged to conduct further attacks.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
Warning Indicators
At the time this alert was first published, Cisco HCS 10.6(1) and prior were
vulnerable. Later versions of Cisco HCS may also be vulnerable.
IntelliShield Analysis
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must authenticate to the targeted
device. This access requirement may reduce the likelihood of a successful
exploit.
Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists;
however, the code is not known to be publicly available.
Vendor Announcements
Cisco has released bug ID CSCut02786 for registered users, which contains
additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions.
Impact
An authenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute
arbitrary commands on an affected device or on other devices managed by the
device, which could be leveraged to conduct further attacks.
Technical Information
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input
submitted to the administrative web interface of an affected device.
An authenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting
input into the affected fields of the web interface on a targeted device. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on
the device or on other devices managed by the affected device, which could be
leveraged to conduct further attacks.
