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.
Vendor Announcements
Cisco has released bug ID CSCus28826 for registered users, which contains
additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions.
Impact
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to take
