CVE-2013-6709
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 · uneditedThe registration component in Cisco WebEx Training Center provides the training-session URL before payment is completed, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and join an audio conference by entering credential fields from this URL, aka Bug ID CSCul57111.
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 confidenceThe Cisco WebEx Training Center registration component has an access control flaw where the training-session URL is disclosed to users before payment verification is completed. This allows unauthenticated or unpaid users to access the audio conference by using the prematurely revealed credentials from this URL.

dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Cisco WebEx Training Center deploymentIdentify if Cisco WebEx Training Center is installed in your environment by reviewing installed web applications, checking for WebEx-related components, or querying your application inventory for 'WebEx Training Center'Affected if The product is present in the environment
-
Review registration flow for URL exposureExamine the training session registration workflow to determine if the training-session URL or audio conference credentials are presented to the user before payment verification is completedAffected if The session URL or access credentials are disclosed prior to payment confirmation
-
Test unauthorized access before paymentAttempt to access a training session URL or audio conference credentials that were obtained during registration, without completing payment, to verify if access is improperly grantedAffected if Unauthenticated or unpaid users can access the session using the revealed URL or credentials
-
Check authorization enforcementInspect server-side authorization logic to verify that access to training session resources is only granted after confirmed payment, not simply by possessing the session URLAffected if The system grants session access based solely on URL knowledge without payment verification
A user is affected if training session URLs or audio conference credentials are disclosed to users before payment is confirmed, allowing unauthenticated or unpaid users to access the session.

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 dataImplement proper server-side authorization checks to ensure the training session URL and access credentials are only disclosed after confirmed payment. Enforce payment verification before granting any session access.
