Cisco IOS HTTP Server Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Cisco IOS HTTP Server is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. The attacker may also perform cross-site request-forgery attacks on the same scripts and parameters. Other attacks may also be possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to dynamically generate web pages.
