The vulnerability is due to lack of implementation of RBAC where authentication of certain user accounts for back-end database access is performed. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the application, allowing them to access the internal database through the GUI or by crafting an HTTP request. An exploit could allow the attacker to have read and write access to sensitive information in the back-end database, which should be restricted. Cisco has not released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20151210-vdssm Affected Products Vulnerable Products Cisco Videoscape Distribution Suite Service Manager (VDS-SM) version 3.4.0 and prior.
