Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Cisco Secure ACS, where some have unknown impacts and others can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery and script insertion attacks.

1) Some unspecified errors. No further information is currently available.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to perform certain actions by tricking a logged in user into visiting a malicious web site.

3) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.2.0.26 patch 9.
