Last modified
CVE-2025-20205 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) guest portals could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the interface. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected system. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) guest portals could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the interface. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected system. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by injecting malicious code into specific pages of the interface. 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 these vulnerabilities, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.
