Last updated on: 2025-11-07

Assigner: Cisco Systems, Inc.

Description
A vulnerability in the Contact Center Express (CCX) Editor application of Cisco Unified CCX could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and obtain administrative permissions pertaining to script creation and execution. This vulnerability is due to improper authentication mechanisms in the communication between the CCX Editor and an affected Unified CCX server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by redirecting the authentication flow to a malicious server and tricking the CCX Editor into believing the authentication was successful. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to create and execute arbitrary scripts on the underlying operating system of an affected Unified CCX server, as an internal non-root user account.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability exists in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (CCX) Editor application, where an unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass authentication due to improper authentication mechanisms between the CCX Editor and the Unified CCX server. The attacker can redirect the authentication flow to a malicious server, tricking the CCX Editor into granting administrative permissions. This allows the attacker to create and execute arbitrary scripts on the affected server as an internal non-root user.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain administrative permissions on the affected Cisco Unified CCX server without authentication. The attacker could create and execute arbitrary scripts on the server, potentially leading to unauthorized access, manipulation of data, disruption of services, and other malicious activities impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
