MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Credential Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to possess valid user credentials on the affected Cisco Packaged CCE or Unified CCE device (CVSS PR:L confirms low-privilege authentication is sufficient - no administrator rights needed). The attacker must be able to send HTTP requests to the affected platform over the network (AV:N, no local access required). The vulnerability is triggered by specific crafted HTTP requests targeting particular endpoints with improperly validated input parameters; the advisory does not indicate a non-default configuration is required, suggesting the affected code path is reachable in standard deployments. Exploitation is constrained by the authentication requirement - unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this without first obtaining credentials through a separate means. No user interaction is required once credentials are obtained (UI:N). The scope is also limited to what the CCE server can reach from its network position. |
| Impact | The CVSS 5.0 base score reflects a moderate but meaningful risk profile: network-accessible (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), requiring only low-privilege credentials (PR:L), with a scope change (S:C) confirming cross-boundary impact potential. The limited impact metrics (C:N/I:L/A:N) suppress the score, though SSRF vulnerabilities in enterprise platforms often carry implicit confidentiality risk if server responses are returned to the attacker - a detail the vendor advisory does not fully clarify. No EPSS data was provided, and no KEV listing exists, suggesting exploitation is not currently widespread. The authentication barrier (PR:L) meaningfully limits opportunistic exploitation - attackers must already hold valid credentials. That said, insider threats or compromised user accounts represent a realistic path, and even a mid-sized municipal IT team in swidnica running Cisco Unified CCE across a large version footprint should treat patching as a standard maintenance priority given the broad affected version range spanning over a decade of releases. The lack of a POC and KEV listing keeps this below emergency threshold, but the scope change and internal network pivot potential warrant timely remediation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with valid low-privilege credentials on the Cisco CCE platform submits a crafted HTTP request containing a manipulated URL or host parameter to a vulnerable endpoint. The server fails to validate the input and issues an outbound request to an attacker-specified target - such as an internal CRM API, a metadata service endpoint, or an internal routing infrastructure component - effectively using the CCE platform as a proxy to access resources the attacker cannot reach directly. No public proof-of-concept exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, though the well-understood nature of SSRF means a functional exploit can be constructed from the advisory description alone by a skilled attacker. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Server-side request forgery in Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise and Unified Contact Center Enterprise enables authenticated remote attackers to coerce the affected device into issuing arbitrary outbound network requests on the attacker's behalf. Exploitation requires valid user credentials and targets specific HTTP request handling endpoints where input validation is improperly enforced, as described in Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-ucce-pcce-ssrf-TghHxD. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, placing this in a monitored but not immediately crisis-level category.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to apply the patches or fixed versions documented in Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-ucce-pcce-ssrf-TghHxD, available at https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ucce-pcce-ssrf-TghHxD. The advisory should specify exact fixed release trains for both Packaged CCE and Unified CCE; no fixed version numbers were independently confirmed in the provided data beyond what the advisory contains, so administrators must consult it directly. As a compensating control while patching, restrict authenticated access to the affected HTTP endpoints via network access controls or application-layer firewall rules, limiting which users and source IPs can reach the vulnerable interface - this raises the bar for exploitation without eliminating the vulnerability. Additionally, egress filtering on the contact center server itself (blocking outbound connections to RFC-1918 ranges and unexpected external hosts) reduces the value of successful SSRF exploitation by limiting what internal resources the forged requests can reach. Note that egress filtering does not prevent exploitation but does reduce the blast radius.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery) identifies the root cause as failure to validate or sanitize user-supplied URL or host parameters in HTTP requests processed by the application layer of the contact center platform. The affected components - Cisco Packaged CCE and Unified CCE - are enterprise contact center orchestration platforms that handle inbound/outbound voice, digital, and routing workflows. CPE strings (cpe:2.3:a:cisco:cisco_packaged_contact_center_enterprise and cpe:2.3:a:cisco:cisco_unified_contact_center_enterprise) confirm both product families are affected across a broad version range spanning 10.5 through 15.0. SSRF in this context is significant because contact center infrastructure commonly has broad network reach to internal telephony, CRM, and routing backends - meaning a forged request can traverse trust boundaries the external attacker cannot directly reach. The CVSS scope change metric (S:C) reflects this: the vulnerable component can be leveraged to affect other systems beyond itself.

DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability in Cisco Packaged Contact Center Enterprise (Packaged CCE) and Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks through an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper input validation for specific HTTP requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to send arbitrary network requests that are sourced from the affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid user credentials on the affected device.
