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 · unedited
The BVSMWeb portal in the web framework in Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager (CDM) in Unified CDM Application Software before 10 does not properly implement access control, which allows remote attackers to modify user information via a crafted URL, aka Bug ID CSCum77041.

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 confidence

The BVSMWeb portal in Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager (CDM) fails to properly implement access control checks, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to modify user information via crafted URLs. This is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) or authorization bypass vulnerability in the web framework where direct object references are not validated against the user's session or permissions.

MitigationUpgrade to Unified CDM Application Software version 10 or later. As a compensating control, restrict network access to the management portal using firewall rules or VPN access to limit exposure to untrusted networks.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Cisco Unified CDM installation
    Locate Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager or CDM Application Software on the system. Check for installation directories, services, or documentation that confirms the product is present.
    Affected if The software is not installed, the check is not applicable.
  2. Determine installed version
    Check the installed version of Cisco Unified CDM Application Software. Common locations include installation logs, version files in the application directory, or the web interface login page version display.
    Affected if Version is 8.1, 8.1.4, or any version <= 8.1.4, or if the product is Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager of any version.
  3. Locate BVSMWeb portal endpoint
    Identify if the BVSMWeb portal web component is present. Check for web service configuration files, application server settings, or by attempting to access common BVSMWeb portal paths on the server.
    Affected if The BVSMWeb portal is not present, the check is not applicable.
  4. Verify portal accessibility
    Determine if the BVSMWeb portal is network-accessible. Check firewall rules, network configuration, or test access to the portal URL from an untrusted network perspective.
    Affected if The portal is exposed to untrusted networks without authentication requirements, making exploitation possible.

You are affected if Cisco Unified CDM Application Software version 8.1 through 8.1.4 (or any version of Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager) is installed with the BVSMWeb portal accessible to unauthenticated users.
