Vulnslist

Vulnerabilities in the administrative web interface of Cisco Unified Operations Manager could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute cross-site scripting attacks or hijack user sessions. The vulnerabilities are due to a failure to properly validate user supplied input as well as inadequate cookie protections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to click on a specially crafted URL. Cisco has confirmed this vulnerability in a security notice; however, software updates are not available. To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may provide a link that directs a user to a malicious site and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to follow the provided link. Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available.

Administrators are advised to contact the vendor regarding future updates and releases.

For additional information about cross-site scripting attacks and the methods used to exploit these vulnerabilities, see the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin Understanding Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Threat Vectorshttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/cmb/cisco-amb-20060922-understanding-xss.html .

Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.

Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems.
