Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web-based interface of Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive information. The issue is due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in HTTP request parameters that describe filenames and pathnames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using directory traversal techniques to submit a path to a desired file location. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to view system files on the targeted device, which may contain sensitive information.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz web de Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Software podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado vea información sensible. El problema se debe al saneamiento incorrecto de entradas proporcionadas por el usuario en parámetros de petición HTTP que describen nombres de archivo y ruta. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad empleando técnicas de salto de directorio para enviar una ruta a una ubicación de archivo deseada. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que el atacante vea archivos en el dispositivo objetivo que podrían contener información sensible.
