A vulnerability in the web-based guest portal of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based management interface.The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input that is processed by the web-based interface.
