Description
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series Phones could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication on an affected device.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access certain parts of the web interface that would normally require authentication.
