July 2016 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : https://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
An attacker can craft a JSON payload, and send it to the API of
Cisco Prime Infrastructure, in order to escalate his privileges.
Impacted products: Prime Infrastructure.
Severity: 2/4.
Creation date: 24/05/2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The Cisco Prime Infrastructure product offers an API.
However, an incorrect role-based access control allows a remote
authenticated attacker to craft a JSON payload to obtain sensitive
data and gain root privilege.
An attacker can therefore craft a JSON payload, and send it to the
API of Cisco Prime Infrastructure, in order to escalate his
privileges.
