CVE-2025-20180

Ein entfernter anonymer oder authentisierter Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Cisco AsyncOS, Cisco Secure Email Gateway und Cisco Secure Web Appliance ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code mit Administratorrechten auszuführen, Root-Rechte zu erlangen, vertrauliche Informationen preiszugeben, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen und einen Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriff durchzuführen.

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager and Secure Email Gateway could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of an affected interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid credentials for a user account with at least the role of Operator. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
