Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches

CVE-2018-0408

Summary

A vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to perform a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This security issue arises from the inadequate validation of user inputs within the management interface. By tricking a user into clicking a maliciously crafted link, an attacker could execute arbitrary script code in the context of the management interface, potentially gaining access to sensitive information within the user's browser. This vulnerability highlights the importance of robust input validation mechanisms to safeguard against exploitation.
