November 8 2018: Initial Release - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Cisco Energy Management Suite Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability Priority: Medium Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20181107-ems-csrf First Published: 2018 November 7 16:00 GMT Version 1.0: Final Workarounds: No workarounds available Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvm29341 CVE-2018-15445 CVSS Score: Base 6.3 CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N/E:X/RL:X/RC:X Summary * A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Energy Management Suite Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack and perform arbitrary actions on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections for the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading an authenticated user of the interface to follow a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform arbitrary actions on a targeted device via a web browser and with the privileges of the user. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20181107-ems-csrf Affected Products * Vulnerable Products This vulnerability affects all versions of Cisco Energy Management Suite Software prior to the first fixed release. For information about affected software releases, consult the Cisco bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory are known to be affected by this vulnerability. Workarounds * There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. Fixed Software * For information about fixed software releases, consult the Cisco bug ID(s) at the top of this advisory. When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
