Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco TelePresence Collaboration Endpoint (CE) Software and Cisco RoomOS Software could allow an attacker to conduct path traversal attacks, view sensitive data, or write arbitrary files on an affected device. For more information about these vulnerabilities, see the Details section of this advisory.

According to its self-reported version, Cisco TelePresence Collaboration Endpoint Software is affected by a vulnerability in the video endpoint xAPI of Cisco TelePresence CE that could allow an authenticated, local attacker to conduct directory traversal attacks on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the xAPI. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read and write arbitrary files in the device and escalate privileges from admin to root. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to have an Administrator account.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
