Summary
A vulnerability exists in Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance due to improper input validation of user-controlled input to the web-based administrative interface. User-controlled input supplied to the login page via the URL parameters/values is not properly sanitized for illegal or malicious content prior to being returned to the user in dynamically generated web content. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, potentially resulting in the compromise of administrator sessions on the Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance device.
