## What is CVE-2024-20460?

CVE-2024-20460 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) Software, published on 16 Oct 2024. 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 ATA 190 Series Analog Telephone Adapter firmware could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user.

This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link. 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 on an affected device.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-20460 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-20460 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in Cisco Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) Software, published on 16 Oct 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-20460 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Cisco Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) Software. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
