Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

A vulnerability in the web-based guest portal of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, 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 management interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link.
A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the interface or access sensitive browser-based information.
