CWE Code: 798
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 7.2
CWE Name:  Use of Hard-coded Credentials
Summary: a vulnerability in cisco prime collaboration provisioning (pcp) software 11.6 could allow an unauthenticated, local attacker to log in to the underlying linux operating system. the vulnerability is due to a hard-coded account password on the system. an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the affected system via secure shell (ssh) using the hard-coded credentials. a successful exploit could allow the attacker to access the underlying operating system as a low-privileged user. after low-level privileges are gained, the attacker could elevate to root privileges and take full control of the device. cisco bug ids: cscvc82982.
Access Authentication: NONE
Access Complexity: LOW
