Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). The flaw is caused by a failure to properly invoke XSS filter subsystems when specific parameters are present in a URL. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by persuading a user of the interface to click a specially crafted link. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected site, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized configuration changes. Fixed releases include 11.5(1.12029.1), 12.0(0.98000.369), and subsequent versions.
