Stored XSS via unvalidated management-interface fields

Published Jan 8, 2025 · Updated Jan 8, 2025

Stored XSS in the web interface of Cisco Crosswork Change Automation allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary script code. The interface stores unvalidated values supplied through unspecified data fields and later treats them as active browser content. Valid administrative credentials are required to plant the payload, and another interface user must load the affected content; execution can expose sensitive browser-based information.
