Description

Cisco CTC contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered because the Java Applet installed by CTC on a client workstation installs with a 'grant all' permission set for 'http://*/fs/LAUNCHER.jar'. This allows malicious applets from websites to execute arbitrary Java code with all permissions if they are installed in a location that fits that pattern. This flaw may lead to a loss of integrity.
