TITLE

Cisco WCS Solution of webacs/QuickSearchAction.do Vulnerable to cross-site scripting

DESCRIPTION

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in webacs/QuickSearchAction.do in the search feature in the web interface in Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) before 6.0(194.0) and 7.x before 7.0.164 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the searchText parameter, aka Bug ID CSCtf14288. The Cisco Wireless Control System is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks on unsuspecting users in the context of the affected website. As a result, the attacker may be able to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Cisco Wireless Control System versions 6.0.181.0 and prior are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Get tweets from Secunia http://twitter.com/secunia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE: Cisco Wireless Control System Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA40827 VERIFY ADVISORY: Secunia.com http://secunia.com/advisories/40827/ Customer Area (Credentials Required) https://ca.secunia.com/?page=viewadvisory&vuln_id=40827 RELEASE DATE: 2010-08-06 DISCUSS ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/40827/#comments AVAILABLE ON SITE AND IN CUSTOMER AREA: * Last Update * Popularity * Comments * Criticality Level * Impact * Where * Solution Status * Operating System / Software * CVE Reference(s) http://secunia.com/advisories/40827/ ONLY AVAILABLE IN CUSTOMER AREA: * Authentication Level * Report Reliability * Secunia PoC * Secunia Analysis * Systems Affected * Approve Distribution * Remediation Status * Secunia CVSS Score * CVSS https://ca.secunia.com/?page=viewadvisory&vuln_id=40827 ONLY AVAILABLE WITH SECUNIA CSI AND SECUNIA PSI: * AUTOMATED SCANNING http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/wsus_sccm_3rd_third_party_patching/ DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Cisco Wireless Control System, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. 1) Input passed via the "searchText" parameter to webacs/QuickSearchAction.do is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 3) Certain input passed to searchClientAction.do and switchGeneralAction.do is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. SOLUTION: Update to version 6.0.196.0 or later.
