Polycom ViewStation before 7.2.4 has a default null password for the administrator account, which allows arbitrary users to conduct unauthorized activities.
An issue was discovered in Polycom Web Management Interface G3/HDX 8000 HD with Durango 2.6.0 4740 software and embedded Polycom Linux Development Platform 2.14.g3. It has a blank administrative password by default, and can be successfully used without setting this password.
An issue was discovered in Polycom Group Series 6.1.6.1 and earlier, HDX 3.1.12 and earlier, and Pano 1.1.1 and earlier. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the content sharing functionality because of a Buffer Overflow via crafted packets.
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (aka RPRM) before 8.4 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information and potentially gain privileges by leveraging use of session identifiers as parameters with HTTP GET requests.
An issue was discovered in Poly (formerly Polycom) HDX 3.1.13. A feature exists that allows the creation of a server / client certificate, or the upload of the user certificate, on the administrator's page. The value received from the user is the factor value of a shell script on the equipment. By entering a special character (such as a single quote) in a CN or other CSR field, one can insert a command into a factor value. A system command can be executed as root.
Polycom HDX Video End Points before 3.0.4 and UC APL before 2.7.1.J allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands as demonstrated by a ; (semicolon) to the ping command feature.
Polycom SoundStation IP, VVX, and RealPresence Trio that are running software older than UCS 4.0.12, 5.4.5 rev AG, 5.4.7, 5.5.2, or 5.6.0 are affected by a vulnerability in their UCS web application. This vulnerability could allow an authenticated remote attacker to read a segment of the phone's memory which could contain an administrator's password or other sensitive information.
CSRF exists on Polycom QDX 6000 devices.
Poly VVX 400/410 5.3.1 allows low-privileged users to change the Admin password by modifying a POST parameter to 120 during the password reset process.
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of VVX, Trio, SoundStructure, SoundPoint, and SoundStation phones running Polycom UC Software, if exploited, could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with admin privileges to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or execute arbitrary code.
On the Polycom Obihai Obi1022 VoIP phone with firmware 5.1.11, a command injection (missing input validation) issue in the NTP server IP address field for the "Time Service Settings web" interface allows an authenticated remote attacker in the same network to trigger OS commands via shell commands in a POST request.
Polycom SoundPoint IP 301 VoIP Desktop Phone, firmware version 1.4.1.0040, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) via (1) a long URL sent to the HTTP daemon and (2) unspecified manipulations as demonstrated by the Nessus httpfingerprintinghmap.nasl script.
Buffer overflow in the Polycom SoundPoint IP 601 SIP phone with BootROM 3.0.x+ and SIP version 1.6.3.0067 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device hang or reboot) via an INVITE message with a long Via header.
Buffer overflow in the HTTP server on the Polycom SoundPoint IP 601 SIP phone with BootROM 3.0.x+ allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reboot) via a malformed CGI parameter.
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (aka RPRM) before 8.4 allows local users to have unspecified impact via vectors related to weak passwords.
Polycom BToE Connector before 3.0.0 uses weak permissions (Everyone: Full Control) for "Program Files (x86)\polycom\polycom btoe connector\plcmbtoesrv.exe," which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.
Polycom RealPresence Group 500 <=20 has Insecure Permissions due to automatically loaded cookies. This allows for the use of administrator functions, resulting in the leakage of sensitive user information.
An authenticated command injection vulnerability exists in the Polycom HDX Series command shell interface accessible over Telnet. The lan traceroute command in the devcmds console accepts unsanitized input, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary system commands. By injecting shell metacharacters through the traceroute interface, an attacker can achieve remote code execution under the context of the root user. This flaw affects systems where Telnet access is enabled and either unauthenticated access is allowed or credentials are known.
The Web server for Polycom ViewStation before 7.2.4 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read files via Unicode encoded requests.
The Telnet service for Polycom ViewStation before 7.2.4 does not restrict the number of failed login attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess usernames and passwords via a brute force attack.
Polycom RealPresence Web Suite before 2.2.0 does not block a user's video for a few seconds upon joining a meeting (when the user has explicitly chosen to turn off the video using a specific option). During those seconds, a meeting invitee may unknowingly be on camera with other participants able to view.
Directory traversal vulnerability in agetlog.cgi in Polycom HDX Video End Points before 3.0.4 and UC APL before 2.7.1.J allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the name parameter.
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (aka RPRM) before 8.4 allows local users with access to the plcm account to gain privileges via a script in /var/polycom/cma/upgrade/scripts, related to a sudo misconfiguration.
An issue was discovered in versions earlier than 1.3.0-66872 for Polycom RealPresence Debut that allows attackers to arbitrarily read the admin user's password via the admin web UI.
VVX products with software versions including and prior to, UCS 5.9.2 with Better Together over Ethernet Connector (BToE) application 3.9.1, use hard-coded credentials to establish connections between the host application and the device.
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (aka RPRM) before 8.4 allow (1) remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the Modifier parameter to PlcmRmWeb/FileDownload; or remote authenticated administrators to upload arbitrary files via the (2) Filename or (3) SEFNAME parameter to PlcmRmWeb/FileUpload or to read and remove arbitrary files via the (4) filePathName parameter in an importSipUriReservations SOAP request to PlcmRmWeb/JUserManager.
Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager (aka RPRM) before 8.4 allows remote authenticated users to obtain the installation path via an HTTP POST request to PlcmRmWeb/JConfigManager.
The Bluetooth subsystem on Polycom Trio devices with software before 5.5.4 has Incorrect Access Control. An attacker can connect without authentication and subsequently record audio from the device microphone.
VVX products using UCS software version 5.9.2 and earlier with Better Together over Ethernet Connector (BToE) application version 3.9.1 and earlier provides insufficient authentication between the BToE application and the BToE component, resulting in leakage of sensitive information.
The Web administration console on Polycom Trio devices with software before 5.5.4 has XSS.
