Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch

Description

The version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM & Presence Service installed on the remote host is prior to version 14. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unified CM IM&P,could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct an XSS attack against an interface user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading an interface user to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive browser-based information.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
