Stored XSS via unvalidated management-interface field
Published Apr 6, 2022 · Updated Nov 6, 2024
Stored XSS in Cisco AsyncOS for Secure Web Appliance 14.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run scripts in the management interface. The web interface stores malicious data from an unspecified field without properly validating it, then executes the injected script when another user views the affected interface. Exploitation requires authenticated access and user interaction, and the script runs in the affected interface security context, enabling data access or modification within that context.
