Cisco-SA-20150515-CVE-2015-0735 · Medium · Published · Updated

A vulnerability in Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal (CVP) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections on an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user on the affected system to follow a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled website. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform unauthorized actions via the web browser with the privileges of the user. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability; however, software updates are not available. To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may provide a link that directs a user to a malicious site and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to follow the provided link.

Workarounds

Administrators are advised to contact the vendor regarding future updates and releases.
