Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager allows an attacker with read-only privileges to perform actions that change the state of the ClearPass Policy Manager instance. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to complete state-changing actions in the web-based management interface that should not be allowed by their current level of authorization on the platform.

CVSS
