Cisco CloudCenter Orchestrator Docker Engine Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Docker Engine configuration of Cisco CloudCenter
Orchestrator (CCO; formerly CliQr) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to install Docker containers with high privileges on the affected system.

The
vulnerability is due to a misconfiguration that causes the Docker Engine management port to be reachable outside of the CloudCenter
Orchestrator system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
loading Docker containers on the affected system with arbitrary
privileges. As a secondary impact this may allow the attacker to gain root
privileges on the affected CloudCenter Orchestrator.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available.
