Synopsis
The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.Description
According to its self-reported version, Cisco ASA Software is affected by a vulnerability in the web-based management interface that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not properly validate user-supplied input. 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 code in the context of the 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.
