What is CVE-2018-0465?

CVE-2018-0465 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches, published on 5 Oct 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface of an affected system.
