A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco UCS Director and Cisco UCS Director Express for Big Data could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary actions with administrator privileges on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to improper authentication request handling. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow an unprivileged attacker to access and execute arbitrary actions through certain APIs.
