Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server (VCS) Expressway X8.5.2 improperly checks for a user account's read-only attribute, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary OS commands via crafted HTTP requests, as demonstrated by read or write operations on the Unified Communications lookup page, aka Bug ID CSCuv12552.
The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
