CVE-2019-1872: Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server and Cisco Expressway Series Server-Side Request Forgery Vulnerability

A vulnerability in Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) and Cisco Expressway Series software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected system to send arbitrary network requests. The vulnerability is due to improper restrictions on network services in the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious requests to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to send arbitrary network requests sourced from the affected system.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw could let an unauthenticated remote attacker make Cisco VCS or Expressway send network requests on the attacker's behalf. That can matter because the request comes from a trusted collaboration system, potentially reaching services the attacker cannot access directly. Likely exposure is Cisco VCS or Cisco Expressway Series systems reachable by untrusted networks. The supplied bundle does not identify exact affected versions, deployment modes, or fixed releases. Treat as a moderate-priority infrastructure issue. It is unauthenticated and remotely reachable, but the published CVSS is medium and the supplied evidence does not show active exploitation. Prioritize exposed collaboration edge systems first. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20190605-vcs for affected and fixed releases.; Apply Cisco-recommended updates or mitigations for deployed VCS and Expressway systems.; Restrict untrusted access to management and service interfaces where business allows..
