A vulnerability in the ClearPass Policy Manager web-based management interface allows a low-privileged (read-only) authenticated remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to data and the ability to execute functions that should be restricted to administrators only with read/write privileges. Successful exploitation could enable a low-privileged user to execute administrative functions leading to an escalation of privileges.
Weakness
The product uses an authentication mechanism to restrict access to specific users or identities, but the mechanism does not sufficiently prove that the claimed identity is correct.

Extended Description
