Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module Web Framework Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web framework of the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module (APIC-EM) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation of user-submitted content. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by disguising embedded malicious HTML code in the affected web page and convincing the user to access a page that uses variables to express the malicious code.

Cisco has not released software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are not available.
