Cisco Industrial Ethernet 1000 Series Switches Device Manager Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Device Manager web interface of Cisco Industrial Ethernet 1000 Series Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack against a user of an affected system.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protection by the Device Manager web interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to follow a malicious link or visit an attacker-controlled website. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to submit arbitrary requests to an affected device via the Device Manager web interface and with the privileges of the user.

There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
