Version Summary: Cisco Unified Presence 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 Cisco Unified Presence Server could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS)
attack against a user of the web interface of the affected system.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of a user-supplied
value. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to
click a specific link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to
execute arbitrary script or HTML code in the user's session, which could be
used to access sensitive browser-based information.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
Warning Indicators
At the time this alert was first published, Cisco Unified Presence Server
version 9.1(1) was vulnerable. Later releases of Cisco Unified Presence Server
may also be vulnerable.
IntelliShield Analysis
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.
Vendor Announcements
Cisco has released bug ID CSCuq03773 for registered users, which contains
additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions.
Impact
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability to execute
arbitrary script or HTML code in the user's session, which could be used to
access sensitive browser-based information. The attacker could use this
information to conduct further attacks.
Technical Information
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input
processed by a device running the affected software.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
convincing a user to click a specific link. A successful exploit could allow
the attacker to execute arbitrary script or HTML in the user's session, which
could be used to access sensitive browser-based information.
Safeguards
Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates.
Users should verify that unsolicited links are safe to follow.
For additional information about XSS attacks and the methods used to exploit
these vulnerabilities, see the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin Understanding
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Threat Vectors.
