CVE-2007-2035
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedCisco Wireless Control System (WCS) before 4.0.66.0 stores sensitive information under the web root with insufficient access control, which allows remote attackers to obtain network organization data via a direct request for files in certain directories, aka Bug ID CSCsg04301.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceCisco Wireless Control System (WCS) versions prior to 4.0.66.0 stores sensitive network organization data in directories under the web root with inadequate access controls, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to directly request and retrieve this sensitive information via HTTP.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Cisco WCS versionAccess the WCS web interface and look for the version information typically displayed in the login page or about section, or check via the WCS administrative console for the software versionAffected if The installed version is any version prior to 4.0.66.0 (versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.65.x are affected; versions up to 4.0.95 are listed as affected per vendor advisory)
-
Identify web root directory structureLocate the directory where WCS stores its web application files - this is typically the Apache Tomcat webroot or similar web serving directory used by WCSAffected if Sensitive network organization data (such as configuration files, network topology information, or device credentials) exists in directories under the web root that are accessible via HTTP
-
Verify web access to sensitive directoriesAttempt to access common WCS web directories via HTTP without authentication - for example, try accessing directories that may contain configuration, database, or XML files directly through the browserAffected if Directories containing sensitive network organization data are directly accessible via HTTP without requiring authentication
-
Check for unauthenticated file retrievalUse a web browser or HTTP tool to request known file types (such as XML, config, or database files) that may be stored in web-accessible WCS directoriesAffected if Sensitive files can be retrieved without any authentication credentials, indicating inadequate access controls on the web root directories
The environment is affected if Cisco WCS version is prior to 4.0.66.0 AND the web interface is accessible to users who could directly retrieve sensitive network organization data stored under the web root without authentication.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade Cisco WCS to version 4.0.66.0 or later, and review/audit the web root directory structure to ensure no sensitive data is stored in publicly accessible locations.
