Cisco Unity Server stored data cross-site scripting
| cisco-unityserver-stored-data-xss (45744) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Cisco Unity Server is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input when displaying stored data. A remote authenticated attacker with administrative privileges could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page, which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
