A vulnerability in the web portal authentication process of Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning could allow an unauthenticated, local attacker to view sensitive data. The vulnerability is due to improper logging of authentication data. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by monitoring a specific World-Readable file for this authentication data (Cleartext Passwords). An exploit could allow the attacker to gain authentication information for other users. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvd86602.

Remediation
Which version to upgrade to
Fix versions compiled from the vendor, package registries and Microsoft. Verify the vendor's note before upgrading.
No fix version is recorded for this entry. Check the references for vendor advisories.
Exploit status
No known public exploit
No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
Research context
For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.
Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
