Cross-user quarantine access via improper authorization
Published Aug 18, 2021 · Updated Nov 7, 2024
Improper authorization in Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager before 14.1 allows remote authenticated users to access other users' quarantines. The spam quarantine interface accepts malicious authenticated requests without properly restricting access to the requesting user's quarantine. A valid user account is required; exploitation exposes stored email and permits changes to another user's quarantine settings or security controls.
