CVE-2024-20305 (GCVE-0-2024-20305)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-01-26 17:26 – Updated: 2025-06-03 17:45
VLAI?
Summary
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unity Connection could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. This vulnerability exists because the web-based management interface does not properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the 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.
Severity ?
