"According to its self-reported version, Cisco ISE is affected by a vulnerability.

  - Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)
    could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrativewrite privileges to conduct a
    stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack or a reflected XSS attack against a user of the web-based
    management interface of an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient sanitization of
    user-supplied data that is stored in the web page. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by
    convincing a user of the interface to click a specific link or view an affected web page. 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. (CVE-2026-20132)

Please see the included Cisco BIDs and Cisco Security Advisory for more information.");
