Cisco Prime Infrastructure API Credentials Management Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the APIs for Cisco Prime Infrastructure could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to access an API that should be restricted to a privileged user. The attacker needs to have valid credentials.

The vulnerability is due to a lack of proper role-based access control (RBAC) for certain APIs in the application. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to specific APIs as a low-privileged user. An exploit could allow the attacker to view or modify system configuration information. The API usage should be restricted based on the user’s privilege level.

There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
