TITLE:
Cisco Wireless Control System Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA20870

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20870/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Exposure of system
information, Exposure of sensitive information, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/6332/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities and a security issue have been reported in Cisco
Wireless Control System (WCS), which can be exploited by malicious,
local users to gain knowledge of sensitive information, and by
malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information, conduct
cross-site scripting attacks, bypass certain security restrictions
and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An undocumented username and hard-coded password exists in the
WCS. This can be exploited to connect to the WCS internal database
and to gain access to the configuration information of managed
wireless access points.

The security issue has been reported in WCS for Linux and Windows
3.2(40) and prior.

2) Undocumented database username and password are stored in clear
text in several WCS files. This can potentially be exploited by local
users to gain knowledge of the user credentials and to gain access to
the database.

The vulnerability has been reported in WCS for Linux and Windows
3.2(51) and prior.

3) An error within the internal TFTP server allows reading from or
writing to arbitrary locations in the filesystem of a WCS system. 

Successful exploitation requires that the configured root directory
of the TFTP server contains a space character.

The vulnerability has been reported in WCS for Linux and Windows
3.2(51) and prior.

4) Input passed to the unspecified parameter in login page is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability has been reported in WCS for Linux and Windows
3.2(51) and prior.

5) An access control error within the WCS HTTP server can be
exploited to gain access to certain directories, which may contain
sensitive information like WCS usernames and directory paths.

The vulnerability has been reported in WCS for Linux and Windows
3.2(51) and prior.

Note: It has also been reported that WCS for Linux and Windows 4.0(1)
and prior are installed with a default administrator username root,
with a default password of public.

SOLUTION:
Update to WCS for Linux and Windows 3.2(63) or later.
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml

Default administrator passwords should be changed after installation.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by vendor.
