Description

A vulnerability in an API endpoint of Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) and Cisco Cloud Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (Cloud APIC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to read or write arbitrary files on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to improper access control. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using a specific API endpoint to upload a file to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read or write arbitrary files on an affected device.

Affected configurations

• cisco application policy infrastructure controller (< 3.2\(10e\)) • cisco application policy infrastructure controller (>= 4.0 < 4.2\(6h\)) • cisco application policy infrastructure controller (>= 5.0 < 5.1\(3e\)) • cisco cloud application policy infrastructure controller (< 3.2\(10e\)) • cisco cloud application policy infrastructure controller (>= 4.0 < 4.2\(6h\)) • cisco cloud application policy infrastructure controller (>= 5.0 < 5.1\(3e\))
