What is CVE-2021-1155?

CVE-2021-1155 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Application Extension Platform, published on 13 Jan 2021. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Small Business RV110W, RV130, RV130W, and RV215W Routers could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the interface. The vulnerabilities are due to insufficient input validation by the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending crafted HTTP requests to an affected device. 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, an attacker would need to have valid administrator credentials on the affected device.
