Description
A vulnerability in Cisco Finesse could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to load arbitrary files from remote locations into an active user session on an affected device, possibly leading to browser-based attacks.

This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input for HTTP requests that are sent to an affected device. An attacker who has knowledge of the address of the affected device could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link that contains the affected device address. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct browser-based attacks and execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive information on the affected device.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in Cisco Finesse permits an unauthenticated attacker to cause the device to retrieve and execute arbitrary files from a remote server during a user session. Insufficient validation of user-supplied URL parameters lets the attacker specify any remote file location, resulting in the browser rendering or executing that content. A successful exploit can deliver arbitrary script code in the context of the Finesse interface or expose sensitive device information.

Affected Systems

Cisco Finesse installations are affected. No specific version information is documented in the advisory, so any deployment of Cisco Finesse that has not applied the referenced update may be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate risk, and the EPSS score is not reported while the vulnerability is not listed in the KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires an attacker to persuade a user to click a crafted link that references the Finesse device address; once the link is followed, the device downloads and displays the remote file, enabling the attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the victim’s browser or compromise device data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Cisco Finesse patch released in the referenced advisory.
  • If the patch cannot be applied immediately, block external HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the corporate network to the Finesse devices or configure the device’s proxy settings to allow only traffic to approved hosts.
  • Educate users not to click unexpected links and configure the web interface to restrict or disable script execution from unknown domains.
  • Enable logging for file inclusion attempts and monitor logs for anomalous HTTP requests to the Finesse endpoints.
