CVE-2019-1680 vulnerability in Cisco Products
Published on February 7, 2019
Cisco Webex Business Suite Content Injection Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Cisco Webex Business Suite could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to inject arbitrary text into a user's browser. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a targeted user to view a malicious URL. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject arbitrary text into the user's browser. The attacker could use the content injection to conduct spoofing attacks. Versions prior than 3.0.9 are affected.
Weakness Type
What is an Injection Vulnerability?
The software constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. Software has certain assumptions about what constitutes data and control respectively. It is the lack of verification of these assumptions for user-controlled input that leads to injection problems. Injection problems encompass a wide variety of issues -- all mitigated in very different ways and usually attempted in order to alter the control flow of the process. For this reason, the most effective way to discuss these weaknesses is to note the distinct features which classify them as injection weaknesses. The most important issue to note is that all injection problems share one thing in common -- i.e., they allow for the injection of control plane data into the user-controlled data plane. This means that the execution of the process may be altered by sending code in through legitimate data channels, using no other mechanism. While buffer overflows, and many other flaws, involve the use of some further issue to gain execution, injection problems need only for the data to be parsed. The most classic instantiations of this category of weakness are SQL injection and format string vulnerabilities.
CVE-2019-1680 has been classified to as an Injection vulnerability or weakness.
