A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco TelePresence Server could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack against the user of the web interface.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing the user of the affected system to follow a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled website. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to submit arbitrary requests to the affected device via the affected 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 website, and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to follow the provided link.
