Details

A vulnerability in the Cisco Crosswork NSO CLI and the ConfD CLI could allow an authenticated, low-privileged, local attacker to read and write arbitrary files as root on the underlying operating system.

This vulnerability is due to improper authorization enforcement when specific CLI commands are used. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by executing an affected CLI command with crafted arguments. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to read or write arbitrary files on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the root user.

Severity

4.8 (Medium)

Title

Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Summary

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct an XSS attack against a user of the interface. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of an affected interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.

Severity

4.8 (Medium)
