Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the default configuration of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Software due to a hard-coded, read-only community string in the configuration file for the SNMP daemon. A remote attacker can use a backdoor account and the static community string in SNMP version 2c queries and read any data that is accessible via SNMP.
Note: The static credentials are defined in an internal configuration file and are not visible in the current operation configuration ('running-config') or the startup configuration ('startup-config').
