HTTP: Cisco Identity Services Engine 2.2 Cross Site Scripting

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against CISCO Identity Services Engine 2.2 (prior to 0.913). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the target server. Successful exploitation results in the execution of arbitrary script code in the browser of users utilizing the management interface

Extended Description

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web interface of an affected system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data that is written to log files and displayed in certain web pages of the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user of the interface to click a specific link or view an affected log file. The injected script code may be executed in the context of the web-based management interface or allow the attacker to access sensitive browser-based information.
