A vulnerability in the web-based GUI of Cisco UCS Director 6.0.0.0 and 6.0.0.1 could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary workflow items with just an end-user profile, a Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to improper role-based access control (RBAC) after the Developer Menu is enabled in Cisco UCS Director. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enabling Developer Mode for his/her user profile with an end-user profile and then adding new catalogs with arbitrary workflow items to his/her profile. An exploit could allow an attacker to perform any actions defined by these workflow items, including actions affecting other tenants. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvb64765.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco UCS Director 6.0.0.0 and 6.0.0.1 allowed an authenticated end user to gain more power than intended through the web GUI. If Developer Mode was enabled, weak role checks could let that user add catalogs with workflow items and perform actions outside their tenant. Exposure appears limited to Cisco UCS Director 6.0.0.0 and 6.0.0.1 deployments where authenticated end users can access the GUI and Developer Mode behavior is reachable. Prioritize remediation for any affected UCS Director instance because compromise of a low-privileged account could affect cloud management workflows and other tenants. Urgency is lower where the product is absent, upgraded, or tightly isolated. Mitigation focus: Identify Cisco UCS Director 6.0.0.0 and 6.0.0.1 systems.; Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20170215-ucs for fixed software or official workarounds.; Restrict UCS Director GUI access to trusted users and management networks..
