A vulnerability in the audit logging component of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition, Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM & Presence Service, Cisco Unity Connection, Cisco Emergency Responder, and Cisco Prime License Manager could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to view sensitive information in clear text on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to the storage of certain unencrypted credentials. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the audit logs on an affected system and obtaining credentials that they may not normally have access to. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to use those credentials to discover and manage network devices.
CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
CVSS 2.0 Base Score 4. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N).
In the following code snippet, a user's full name and credit card number are written to a log file.
logger.info("Username: " + usernme + ", CCN: " + ccn);This code stores location information about the current user:
}...Log.e("ExampleActivity", "Caught exception: " + e + " While on User:" + User.toString());When the application encounters an exception it will write the user object to the log. Because the user object contains location information, the user's location is also written to the log.
In the example below, the method getUserBankAccount retrieves a bank account object from a database using the supplied username and account number to query the database. If an SQLException is raised when querying the database, an error message is created and output to a log file.
}
return userAccount;}userAccount = (BankAccount)queryResult.getObject(accountNumber);Logger.getLogger(BankManager.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, logMessage, ex);The error message that is created includes information about the database query that may contain sensitive information about the database or query logic. In this case, the error message will expose the table name and column names used in the database. This data could be used to simplify other attacks, such as SQL injection (CWE-89) to directly access the database.
