Cisco’s Double Trouble: Unauthenticated Access and XSS Vulnerabilities in Finesse and CVP

Cisco Finesse and friends have an unauthenticated access vulnerability that’s basically an open door for remote attackers. The fix? A software update from Cisco, because the only workaround is wishing you had installed it sooner.

Hot Take:

Cisco’s web management interface just took a double whammy! It’s like leaving your front door open and then inviting the burglars in for tea. Get your patches while they’re hot, folks!

Key Points:

  • Two major vulnerabilities found in Cisco Finesse, Cisco Virtualized Voice Browser, and Cisco Unified CVP.
  • First vulnerability allows unauthorized access to the OpenSocial Gadget Editor.
  • Second vulnerability enables cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
  • Both vulnerabilities have been patched by Cisco; no workarounds available.
  • Security Impact Ratings are medium, but still important to address immediately.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
