Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The weakness exists in the web-based GUI of Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Central Manager due to a processing error in how the affected software applies role-based access control (RBAC) to URLs. A remote attacker can conduct a brute-force attack or guess the report ID of a completed report, send a specially crafted HTTP GET request with the ID to an affected system and download any completed report that was previously scheduled by a WAAS administrator via the Reports Central area in the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.
