TITLE

Cisco WCS Vulnerability in obtaining network configuration data

DESCRIPTION

Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) before 4.0.66.0 stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to obtain network organization data via a direct request for files in certain directories, aka Bug ID CSCsg04301. Cisco Wireless Control System is prone to multiple vulnerabilities, including an unauthorized-access issue, a privilege-escalation issue, and an information-disclosure issue. An attacker can exploit these issues to obtain sensitive information, gain unauthorized access, and elevate privileges, which will compromise affected devices and aid in further attacks. Versions prior to 4.0.96.0 are vulnerable. These issues are being tracked by Cisco Bug IDs: CSCse93014 CSCse78596 CSCsg05190 CSCsg04301. Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) provides wireless LAN planning and design, system configuration, location tracking, security monitoring and wireless LAN management tools. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia customers receive relevant and filtered advisories. Delivery is done via different channels including SMS, Email, Web, and https based XML feed. 1) WCS includes a fixed username and password for backup operations via FTP. This can be exploited to read from and write to arbitrary files on affected systems. Successful exploitation potentially allows the server to be compromised, but requires knowledge of other properties of the FTP server. The security issue has been reported in WCS prior to version 4.0.96.0. 2) An unspecified error exists in the authentication system, which can be exploited by an authenticated user to change his account group membership. Successful exploitation can allow full administrative control of WCS, but requires a valid username and password. The vulnerability is reported in WCS prior to version 4.0.87.0. 3) Certain directories in WCS are not password protected. This can be exploited to disclose certain system information, e.g. organization of the network including access point locations. The security issue is reported in WCS prior to version 4.0.66.0. SOLUTION: Update to version 4.0.96.0 or later. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by the vendor.
