Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Page Source Code Remote Password Disclosure (CSCuu33050)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 84726

Synopsis

The remote web server is running a conferencing application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace application hosted on the remote web server is potentially affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper handling of passwords. An authenticated, remote attacker can obtain plaintext passwords by viewing the source code of certain HTML pages.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Additionally, the coarse nature of the version information Nessus gathered is not enough to confirm that the application is vulnerable, only that it might be affected.

Solution

Upgrade to version 8.6(2.5) or greater.

Alternatively, contact the vendor regarding the patch for Cisco bug ID CSCuu33050.
