Summary

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco UCS Manager Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored XSS attack. This is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker with Administrator or AAA Administrator role can inject malicious data to execute arbitrary script code.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser, potentially stealing session data or performing actions on behalf of the user. This may lead to privilege escalation and compromise of system security.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco UCS Manager Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious data into specific pages of the interface. 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. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must be a member of the Administrator or AAA Administrator role.
