A vulnerability in the web framework of the Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access arbitrary files on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using directory traversal techniques to read files within the Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series filesystem. This vulnerability affects Cisco TelePresence IX5000 Series devices running software version 8.2.0. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvc52325.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
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.
