Description: Hugo Vazquez Carames reported a vulnerability in Cisco IOS in the HTTP server. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The web-based '/level/15/exec/-/show/buffers' function does not properly filter HTML code from user-affected inputs before displaying
the input. The 'dump' and 'packet' options are vulnerable.
A remote user can send a packet containing specially crafted HTML
code to or though the target router. Then, when a target administrator uses the web-based buffers function to view system memory,
the HTML code will be executed by the target administrator's browser. The code will originate from the router's web interface and
will run in the security context of that interface. As a result, the code will be able to access data recently submitted by the
target administrator via web form to the interface or take actions on the interface acting as the target administrator.
Cisco
has assigned Cisco Bug ID CSCsc64976 to this vulnerability.
