Descriptions

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the interface of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script or HTML code in the context of the interface, which could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive, browser-based information.

Una vulnerabilidad en la interfaz de administración basada en web del Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA), podría permitir a un atacante no autenticado remoto conducir ataques de tipo cross-site scripting (XSS) contra un usuario de la interfaz de un dispositivo afectado. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación insuficiente de la entrada suministrada por el usuario para la interfaz de administración basada en web de un dispositivo afectado. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al persuadir a un usuario de la interfaz para que haga clic en un enlace diseñado. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar un script o código HTML arbitrario en el contexto de la interfaz, lo que podría permitir al atacante conseguir acceso a información confidencial basada en el navegador
