To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have valid Administrator level privileges on the affected device.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to improper handling of XML External Entity (XXE) entries when parsing certain XML files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted XML file that contains references to external entities. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to retrieve files from the local system, resulting in the disclosure of confidential information.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
