Cisco TelePresence IX5000

A vulnerability in the web framework of the Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access arbitrary files on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using directory traversal techniques to read files within the Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series filesystem. This vulnerability affects Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series devices running software version 8.2.0. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc52325.

The administrative web-management portal in Cisco IX 8 (.0.1) and earlier on Cisco TelePresence IX5000 devices does not properly restrict the device-recovery account's access, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain HelpDesk-equivalent privileges by leveraging device-recovery authentication, aka Bug ID CSCus74174.
