Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco Prime Home Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20161102-cph

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2016 November 2 16:00  UTC (GMT)

+---------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

A vulnerability in the web-based graphical user interface (GUI) of Cisco Prime Home could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication. The attacker could be granted full administrator privileges.

The vulnerability is due to a processing error in the role-based access control (RBAC) of URLs. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to a particular URL. An exploit 
could allow the attacker to obtain a valid session identifier for an arbitrary user, which would allow the attacker to perform any actions in Cisco Prime Home for which that user is authorized - including users 
with administrator privileges.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that address this vulnerability are not available.
