Descriptions

A vulnerability in the spam quarantine feature of Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, formerly Cisco Security Management Appliance (SMA), could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to gain unauthorized access and modify the spam quarantine settings of another user. This vulnerability exists because access to the spam quarantine feature is not properly restricted. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious requests to an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to modify another user's spam quarantine settings, possibly disabling security controls or viewing email messages stored on the spam quarantine interfaces.

Una vulnerabilidad en la funcionalidad spam quarantine de Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, anteriormente Cisco Security Management Appliance (SMA), podría permitir a un atacante autenticado remoto conseguir acceso no autorizado y modificar la configuración de spam quarantine de otro usuario.

Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de peticiones maliciosas a un sistema afectado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante modificar la configuración de spam quarantine de otro usuario, posiblemente deshabilitando los controles de seguridad o visualizando los mensajes de correo electrónico almacenados en las interfaces de spam quarantine.
