Technical details

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) is caused by improper authorization checks on a specific REST API endpoint (CWE-862). An authenticated, remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a crafted query to the affected endpoint. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to view session information for active users, including those with administrative privileges. This information can be leveraged to compromise the device or hijack sessions. Cisco has released software updates to address this issue; no workarounds are available.
