## What is CVE-2010-4304?

CVE-2010-4304 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in n/a, published on 22 Nov 2010. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The web interface in Cisco Unified Videoconferencing (UVC) System 3545, 5110, 5115, and 5230; Unified Videoconferencing 3527 Primary Rate Interface (PRI) Gateway; Unified Videoconferencing 3522 Basic Rate Interfaces (BRI) Gateway; and Unified Videoconferencing 3515 Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) uses predictable session IDs based on time values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions via a brute-force attack, aka Bug ID CSCti54048.

Weakness: CWE-310

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2010-4304 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2010-4304 is a medium-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in n/a, published on 22 Nov 2010. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2010-4304 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
