Summary
A vulnerability in configuration modification permissions validation for
Cisco Unified Communications Manager could allow an authenticated, remote
attacker to perform a horizontal privilege escalation where one user can
modify another user's configuration.
The vulnerability is due to lack of proper Role Based Access Control
(RBAC) when certain user configuration changes are requested. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending an authenticated, crafted HTTP
request to the targeted application. An exploit could allow the attacker
to impact the integrity of the application where one user can modify the
configuration of another user's information.
Workarounds that address this vulnerability are not available.
