Updates are not available. Description A vulnerability in the Cisco TelePresence IP VCR Series could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute unwanted actions. The vulnerability is due to insufficient cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking the user of a web application into executing an adverse action. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability; however, software updates are not available. Warning Indicators At the time this alert was first published, Cisco TelePresence IP VCR Series Release 3.0(1.27) was vulnerable. Later releases of Cisco TelePresence IP VCR Series may also be vulnerable. IntelliShield Analysis To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may provide a link that directs a user to a malicious site and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to follow the provided link. 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 CSCuu90736 for registered users, which contains additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions. Impact An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to take unauthorized actions on behalf of a targeted user. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct further attacks. Technical Information The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protection by the affected software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to follow a malicious link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to submit arbitrary requests to the affected device via the web browser with the privileges of the user, which could be used to conduct further attacks. Safeguards Administrators are advised to contact the vendor regarding future updates and releases. Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.
