In CloudVision Portal (CVP) for all releases in the 2018.2 Train, under certain conditions, the application logs user passwords in plain text for certain API calls, potentially leading to user password exposure. This only affects CVP environments where: 1. Devices have enable mode passwords which are different from the user's login password, OR 2. There are configlet builders that use the Device class and specify username and password explicitly Application logs are not accessible or visible from the CVP GUI. Application logs can only be read by authorized users with privileged access to the VM hosting the CVP application.
In CloudVision Portal all releases in the 2018.1 and 2018.2 Code train allows users with read-only permissions to bypass permissions for restricted functionality via CVP API calls through the Configlet Builder modules. This vulnerability can potentially enable authenticated users with read-only access to take actions that are otherwise restricted in the GUI.
