CVE-2021-1579

A vulnerability in an API endpoint of Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) and Cisco Cloud Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (Cloud APIC) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with Administrator read-only credentials to elevate privileges on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to an insufficient role-based access control (RBAC). An attacker with Administrator read-only credentials could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specific API request using an app with admin write credentials. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to elevate privileges to Administrator with write privileges on the affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en un endpoint de la API de Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) y Cisco Cloud Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (Cloud APIC) podría permitir a un atacante remoto autenticado con credenciales de sólo lectura de Administrador elevar los privilegios en un sistema afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad es debido a un control de acceso insuficiente basado en roles (RBAC). Un atacante con credenciales de Administrador de sólo lectura podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad mediante el envío de una petición de API específica usando una aplicación con credenciales de escritura de administrador. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante elevar los privilegios a Administrador con privilegios de escritura en el dispositivo afectado.
