Summary
A vulnerability in the web framework code of the Cisco IP Interoperability and
Collaboration System (IPICS) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of some parameters
passed to the web server. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by
convincing the user to access a malicious link or by intercepting the user
request and injecting the malicious code. An exploit could allow the attacker
to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected site or allow
the attacker to access sensitive browser-based information.
Cisco has not released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
