Descriptions

The Web Install ActiveX control (CSDWebInstaller) in Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) before 3.5.841 does not properly verify the signatures of downloaded programs, which allows remote attackers to force the download and execution of arbitrary files via a crafted web page, aka Bug ID CSCta25876.

El control ActiveX Web Install ActiveX en Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) anterior a v3.5.841, no verifica adecuadamente las firmas de los programas descargados, lo que permite a atacantes remotos forzar las descargas y ejecuciones de archivos de su elección a través de una página web manipulada. También conocido con el Bug ID CSCta25876.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems with vulnerable installations of Cisco Secure Desktop. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists in the Secure Desktop Web Install ActiveX control (705EC6D4-B138-4079-A307-EF13E4889A82). The control fails to properly verify the signature of the downloaded executable being installed. By not verifying the executable a malicious attacker can force the user to download and run any code of their choosing. Successful exploitation leads to full system compromise under the credentials of the currently logged in user.
