A vulnerability in the web-based messaging service interface of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software
could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to bypass authentication
and authorization and modify the configuration of an affected system.
To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker
must be able to access an associated Cisco SD-WAN vEdge device.
