Version Summary: Cisco WebEx Meetings Server contains a vulnerability that
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks. Updates are available.
Description
A vulnerability in the administration portal page of the Cisco WebEx Meetings
Server could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input
submitted to the administration portal page of the affected software. An
unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
convincing a user to visit a malicious website. If successful, the attacker
could conduct an XSS attack and execute arbitrary scripts in the user's
browser session or gain access to sensitive information.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
