Assigner: Cisco Systems, Inc.

Description
A vulnerability in Cisco Catalyst Center could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute operations that should require Administrator privileges. The attacker would need valid read-only user credentials. This vulnerability is due to improper role-based access control (RBAC). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to an affected system and modifying certain policy configurations. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to modify policy configurations that are reserved for the Administrator role. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials for a user account with at least the role of Observer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Cisco Catalyst Center allows an authenticated remote attacker with valid read-only user credentials to perform operations that should require Administrator privileges. Due to improper role-based access control (RBAC), an attacker with at least Observer role access can log in and modify policy configurations reserved for Administrators.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability could allow an attacker with limited access to escalate their privileges and modify critical policy configurations, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in network management settings. This could undermine the security and stability of the affected system.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, ensure that user accounts with read-only or Observer roles are carefully managed and monitored. Limit the number of users with these roles and review their permissions regularly. Apply the latest security updates or patches from Cisco once available. Additionally, monitor for any unauthorized modifications to policy configurations that should be restricted to Administrator roles.
