Cisco TelePresence XML Application Programming Interface Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20160504-tpxml

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2016 May 4 16:00 UTC (GMT)

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

Summary
=======

A vulnerability in the XML application programming interface (API) of Cisco TelePresence Codec (TC) and Collaboration 
Endpoint (CE) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and access a targeted 
system through the API.

The vulnerability is due to improper implementation of authentication mechanisms for the XML API of the affected 
software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the XML API. A successful 
exploit could allow the attacker to perform unauthorized configuration changes or issue control commands to the 
affected system by using the API.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There is a workaround that addresses this 
vulnerability.
