Cisco Identity Services Engine Stored XSS (cisco-sa-ISE-XSS-bL4VTML)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 187986

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

According to its self-reported version, Cisco Identity Services Engine is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to perform a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface on an affected device. This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious code into specific pages of the interface. 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.

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.
