A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Catalyst Center could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface of an affected device. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the web-based management interface to click a crafted link.
