Description
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) and Cisco Prime Infrastructure could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against users of the interface of an affected system.

This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by inserting malicious code into specific data fields in the interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have valid administrative credentials.

AI Analysis

Impact

A stored cross‑site scripting flaw exists in the web‑based management interface of Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager and Cisco Prime Infrastructure because user input is not properly validated. The vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to inject malicious script code into specific data fields, which then executes when other users view that data. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary script execution in the web interface context or theft of browser‑based information such as session tokens.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager, including version 8.0.0 and earlier releases, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure. All installations that expose the web‑based interface and allow administrative authentication are susceptible, regardless of network location.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.8, indicating moderate severity, and an EPSS score of less than 1%, indicating low exploit probability. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attack requires valid administrative credentials and occurs via the web interface, so mitigation focuses on patching, credential hardening and access control. Because the code runs in the victim's browser, an attacker could hijack sessions or perform other malicious actions against users accessing the interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the official Cisco update that addresses the stored XSS flaw.
  • Limit administrative access by removing unnecessary privileges and enforcing least‑privilege access.
  • Narrow the management interface's reach by placing it behind a dedicated firewall and restricting access to trusted internal IP ranges.
