CVE-2011-4237

Summary

The vulnerability in CiscoWorks Common Services 4.0 allows remote attackers to exploit a CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) injection flaw through the autologin.jsp page. By manipulating the URL parameters, attackers can inject arbitrary HTTP headers, which may lead to HTTP response splitting attacks. This gives them the ability to interfere with web application responses and could enable session hijacking or cross-site scripting attacks. It is crucial for users of affected Cisco products to apply necessary patches and ensure proper security measures are in place.
