Cisco Prime Infrastructure Cross-Frame Scripting Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web interface of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute a cross-frame scripting (XFS) attack. This vulnerability is due to insufficient HTML iframe protection. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by directing a user to an attacker-controlled web page that contains a malicious HTML iframe. An exploit could allow the attacker to conduct clickjacking or other client-side browser attacks. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability in a security notice and released software updates. 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 link. Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that proof-of-concept exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available

Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.

Users are advised not to visit websites or follow links that have suspicious characteristics or cannot be verified as safe.
