Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the web interface of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). The flaw is caused by the application's failure to properly invoke XSS filter subsystems when processing specific URL parameters. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by persuading a user to follow a specially crafted link or visit a malicious website. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. The vulnerability is tracked as Cisco Bug ID CSCvc20679 and has been addressed in multiple fixed releases of version 12.0.
