CVE-2021-34763: Cisco FMC Software Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco FMC Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a XSS attack against a user of the interface.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface. 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 interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
