Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (Unified CCX) due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. 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 interface or access sensitive, browser-based information such as session cookies. Cisco has released software updates to address this vulnerability in version 15.0 ES02 and recommends migrating from older, unsupported versions.
