Published on January 18, 2018
A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Prime Infrastructure could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to redirect a user to a malicious web page, aka an Open Redirect. The vulnerability is due to improper input validation of the parameters in the HTTP request. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting an HTTP request that could cause the web application to redirect the request to a specific malicious URL. This vulnerability is known as an open redirect attack and is used in phishing attacks to get users to visit malicious sites without their knowledge. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve37646.
Weakness Type
What is an Open Redirect Vulnerability?
A web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a Redirect. This simplifies phishing attacks. An http parameter may contain a URL value and could cause the web application to redirect the request to the specified URL. By modifying the URL value to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and steal user credentials. Because the server name in the modified link is identical to the original site, phishing attempts have a more trustworthy appearance.
CVE-2018-0097 has been classified to as an Open Redirect vulnerability or weakness.
