The administrative web console on the TANDBERG Video Communication Server (VCS) before X4.3 uses predictable session cookies in (1) tandberg/web/lib/secure.php and (2) tandberg/web/user/lib/secure.php, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass authentication, and execute arbitrary code by loading a custom software update, via a crafted "Cookie: tandberg_login=" HTTP header.

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from vsecurity. Update tandberg_video_communication_server to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
