The vulnerability is due to a failure to perform sufficient server-side validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using an intercepting proxy to submit specially crafted requests for arbitrary system files.

Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice and released software updates.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need to authenticated to the targeted device, which decreases the likelihood of a successful exploit.
