What is CVE-2023-20205?
CVE-2023-20205 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager, published on 16 Aug 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Prime Infrastructure and Cisco Evolved Programmable Network Manager (EPNM) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface on an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by persuading a user of an affected interface to view a page containing malicious HTML or script content. 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 credentials to access the web-based management interface of the affected device.
Weakness: CWE-79
