CVE-2017-6784
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 · uneditedA vulnerability in the web interface of the Cisco RV340, RV345, and RV345P Dual WAN Gigabit VPN Routers could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive data. The attacker could use this information to conduct additional reconnaissance attacks. The vulnerability is due to Cisco WebEx Meetings not sufficiently protecting sensitive data when responding to an HTTP request to the web interface. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by attempting to use the HTTP protocol and looking at the data in the HTTP responses from the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server. An exploit could allow the attacker to find sensitive information about the application. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve37988. Known Affected Releases: firmware 1.0.0.30, 1.0.0.33, 1.0.1.9, 1.0.1.16.
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 confidenceAn information disclosure vulnerability in the web interface of Cisco RV340, RV345, and RV345P VPN routers allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve sensitive data via HTTP responses. The flaw exists in the Cisco WebEx Meetings component, which does not adequately protect sensitive information in its HTTP responses.

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 the router firmware versionLog into the Cisco RV340/RV345/RV345P web interface and navigate to Administration > Firmware Upgrade, or use the CLI command 'show version' to display the installed firmware version.Affected if The displayed firmware version is exactly 1.0.0.30, 1.0.0.33, 1.0.1.9, or 1.0.1.16
-
Identify if the WebEx Meetings component is presentAttempt to access the router web interface and look for the WebEx Meetings feature or module. This may appear in the web interface navigation or in the URL path related to meetings or conferencing features.Affected if The WebEx Meetings component or feature is present and accessible on the device web interface
-
Test for unauthenticated HTTP access to WebEx endpointsSend an HTTP request to common WebEx-related paths on the router (such as /webex/ or similar endpoints) without providing any authentication credentials and observe the HTTP response.Affected if The router returns sensitive information in HTTP responses without requiring authentication
A user is affected if the router runs one of the listed firmware versions (1.0.0.30, 1.0.0.33, 1.0.1.9, or 1.0.1.16) and the WebEx Meetings component is accessible, allowing unauthenticated retrieval of sensitive data via HTTP.

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 dataApply firmware updates provided by Cisco to address CSCve37988. Until then, restrict web interface access to trusted networks or disable the WebEx Meetings feature if possible.
