Synopsis

A network management system on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient validation of input parameters by its web server component. Using a specially crafted URL, a remote attacker could inject arbitrary script or HTML code.

This plugin determines if DCNM is vulnerable by checking the version number displayed in the web interface. The web interface is not available in older versions of DCNM.
