The Web management interface in Avaya SIP Enablement Services (SES) 3.x and 4.0, as used with Avaya Communication Manager 3.1.x, does not perform authentication for certain functionality, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information and access restricted functionality via (1) the certificate installation utility, (2) unspecified scripts in the objects folder, (3) an "unnecessary default application," (4) unspecified scripts in the states folder, (5) an unspecified "default application" that lists server configuration, and (6) "full system help."
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-6707 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.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-287): Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow attackers to access protected resources without valid credentials.
