Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:16Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in AccessCodeStart.asp in Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM) Captive Portal 5.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the msg parameter. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Cisco BBSM 5.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Secunia Network Software Inspector 2.0 (NSI) - Public Beta
The Public Beta has ended. Thanks to all that participated.
Input passed to the "msg" parameter in AccessCodeStart.asp is not properly sanitised before being returned to a user.
SOLUTION: Apply patch BBSMPatch5332.zip. http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/ImageList.x?relVer=5.3&mdfid=278455427&sftType=Building%20Broadband%20Service%20Manager%20(BBSM)%20Updates&optPlat=&nodecount=2&edesignator=null&modelName=Cisco%20Building%20Broadband%20Service%20Manager%205.3&treeMdfId=281527126&treeName=Network%20Monitoring%20and%20Management
