A vulnerability in the web-based graphical user interface (GUI) of Cisco Prime Home could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication. The attacker could be granted full administrator privileges. Cisco Prime Home versions 5.1.1.6 and earlier and 5.2.2.2 and earlier have been confirmed to be vulnerable. Cisco Prime Home versions 6.0 and later are not vulnerable. More Information: CSCvb71732. Known Affected Releases: 5.0 5.0(1) 5.0(1.1) 5.0(1.2) 5.0(2) 5.15.1(0) 5.1(1) 5.1(1.3) 5.1(1.4) 5.1(1.5) 5.1(1.6) 5.1(2) 5.1(2.1) 5.1(2.3) 5.25.2(0.1) 5.2(1.0) 5.2(1.2) 5.2(2.0) 5.2(2.1) 5.2(2.2).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco Prime Home before version 6.0 has an authentication bypass in its web-based GUI. A remote attacker who is not logged in could gain full administrator privileges. For organizations still running vulnerable 5.x releases, this is a business-critical management-plane risk. Exposure is limited to organizations running Cisco Prime Home 5.x versions before 6.0, especially where the web GUI is reachable over a network by untrusted users. Treat this as urgent for any remaining Cisco Prime Home 5.x estate. The issue can convert remote unauthenticated access into administrator control, so exposure should be confirmed and upgrades prioritized. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Cisco Prime Home to version 6.0 or later.; Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20161102-cph and CSCvb71732 guidance.; Prioritize remediation for any reachable 5.0, 5.1, or 5.2 deployment..
