Cisco BroadWorks Application Delivery Platform Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability – Source:sec.cloudapps.cisco.com

Medium

Summary

• A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco BroadWorks Application Delivery Platform could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting 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 affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.

  Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
