An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-3838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Secure Access Control System. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-3838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-3838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-3838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-3838/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-3838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-crv7-59vp-4g5m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Secure ACS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute DOM-based cross-site scripting attacks against users of the Cisco Secure ACS web interface.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"secure_access_control_system","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in Cisco Secure Access Control System (ACS) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against the user of the web interface of the affected system.
