CVE-2014-3320
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 · uneditedMultiple open redirect vulnerabilities in the admin web interface in the web framework in Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager (CDM) 8.1(.4) and earlier allow remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via crafted URLs for unspecified scripts, aka Bug ID CSCuo48835.
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 · moderate confidenceMultiple open redirect vulnerabilities in the admin web interface of Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager (CDM) 8.1(.4) and earlier allow remote attackers to craft malicious URLs that redirect users to arbitrary external websites for phishing attacks via unspecified scripts in the web framework.

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.
-
Identify Cisco CDM installationLocate Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager in your environment by checking for the web service listening on common admin ports (typically 443/https or 8080). Use network scanning or check service inventory for Cisco CDM processes.Affected if Cisco CDM software is found running in the environment
-
Determine installed versionAccess the admin web interface and navigate to the About or System Information page to retrieve the exact version number. Alternatively, check installed packages or VM image metadata if CDM is deployed on a virtual appliance.Affected if Version is 8.1, 8.1(1), 8.1(2), 8.1(3), 8.1(4), or any version <= 8.1(4)
-
Verify admin web interface is accessibleConfirm the Cisco CDM admin web interface is reachable over the network, either internally or externally. Attempt to access the login page via HTTP/HTTPS.Affected if The admin web interface is exposed and reachable
-
Test for open redirect behaviorCraft a test URL using the vulnerable redirect pattern: append a redirect parameter (such as ?url= or ?redirect=) with an external domain (e.g., example.com) to admin interface login or script URLs. Observe whether the application redirects to the external site without validation.Affected if The application redirects to the specified external domain without validating the redirect target
The environment is affected if Cisco CDM version 8.1 through 8.1(4) is running with its admin web interface accessible, allowing unvalidated redirect parameters to cause external redirects.

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 to a patched version of Cisco CDM; implement strict URL validation and allowlist controls for redirect parameters in the affected admin web interface scripts.
