An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious request to the web-based management interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to reset the password of an arbitrary account, including high-privileged administrative user accounts, possibly allowing the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application as any user.","cvssScore":9.1,"cvssSeverity":"CRITICAL","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","cwes":["CWE-862"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ssm-access-nttb2dhE","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":{"summary":"The flaw is a password reset process vulnerability in Cisco License On-Prem, allowing unauthenticated attackers to reset arbitrary user passwords, potentially gaining unauthorized access.
