A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the web interface of the Cisco Hosted Collaboration Mediation Fulfillment application could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute unwanted actions.
The vulnerability is due to a lack of CSRF protections by an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to follow a malicious link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to submit arbitrary requests to the affected device via the web browser with the privileges of the user.
