AsyncOS for Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to
cause a user to click a malicious link in the MIQ view. The malicious link could be used to
facilitate a cross-site scripting (XSS) or HTML injection attack.
The vulnerability is due to malformed HTML script tags in quarantined email messages. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted email message to the affected device. An
exploit could allow the attacker to trick a user who views the MIQ email message into clicking a
malicious link.
Cisco has not released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds
that address this vulnerability.");
