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
A vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Manager could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive data. The attacker does not need administrator credentials and could use this information to conduct additional reconnaissance attacks. More Information: CSCvc60031 (Fixed) CSCvc60041 (Fixed) CSCvc60095 (Open) CSCvc60102 (Open). Known Affected Releases: 2.2 2.2(3) 3.0 3.1(0.0) 3.1(0.128) 3.1(4.0) 3.1(5.0) 3.2(0.0) 2.0(4.0.45D).

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

In Cisco Prime Infrastructure and EPN Manager, an authenticated but non-administrator remote attacker can exploit the web interface to access sensitive data that should be restricted. The vulnerability allows low-privilege users to view information beyond their authorized scope, potentially revealing configuration details, device information, or credentials useful for further attacks.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches for affected releases; for fixed versions (2.2(3), 3.1(4.0), 3.1(5.0), 3.2(0.0)), upgrade to those releases. For open CVEs, monitor Cisco PSIRT for forthcoming fixes.

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 the installed Cisco product and version
    Access the web interface admin login page or the About/Help section of Cisco Prime Infrastructure or Evolved Programmable Network Manager. Alternatively, log into the system CLI and run the command to display the software version, such as 'show version' or 'show inventory'.
    Affected if The product is Cisco Prime Infrastructure and the version is 2.2, 2.2(3), 3.0, 3.1, 3.1(0.128), 3.1(4.0), 3.1(5.0), or 3.2(0.0); or the product is Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager and the version is 2.0(4.0.45d).
  2. Confirm the web interface is enabled and accessible
    Attempt to reach the web interface URL of the Cisco product from a network location. Verify the service is listening on the expected HTTP/HTTPS ports (commonly 80/443 or 8080/8443).
    Affected if The web interface is exposed and responds to authentication requests, enabling an attacker to log in.
  3. Determine if low-privilege user accounts exist
    Log into the web interface with a non-administrator account (such as a read-only or standard user role) or review the user management section to identify the presence of accounts with limited privileges.
    Affected if There are authenticated non-administrator users in the system who could potentially access data beyond their authorized scope.

You are affected if you run any of the listed Cisco Prime Infrastructure or Evolved Programmable Network Manager versions and have non-administrator user accounts able to access the web interface.
