Cisco has issued a security advisory detailing multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Finesse’s web-based management interface.
These vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2024-20404 and CVE-2024-20405, could allow unauthenticated, remote attackers to perform a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
The vulnerabilities in question involve a remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerability and a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack.
Specifically, the stored XSS attack can be executed by exploiting the RFI vulnerability, while the SSRF attack can be conducted on an affected system through Cisco Finesse’s web-based management interface.
Cisco has classified these vulnerabilities’ Security Impact Rating (SIR) as Medium, primarily due to the limited scope of information accessible to the attacker.
