Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager XSS Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web framework of the Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager application could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web interface on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input by the affected software. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability by convincing a user to follow a malicious link. If successful, the attacker could execute arbitrary script or HTML code in the user's browser session. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice; however, updated software is 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.

Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.

Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems.
