CVSS v3.1
Official Description
The remote management interface in SIP Enablement Services (SES) Server in Avaya SIP Enablement Services 5.0, and Communication Manager (CM) 5.0 on the S8300C with SES enabled, proceeds with Core router updates even when a login is invalid, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (messaging outage) or gain privileges via an update request.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-3778 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
