descriptionAccording to its self-reported version, the remote Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) device is affected by one or more vulnerabilities : - An unspecified flaw exists in the web-based interface due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated, remote attacker who has valid administrator credentials can exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary commands and thereby elevate privileges from administrator to root. (CVE-2017-6746) - An unspecified flaw exists in the CLI parser due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary commands and thereby escape the CLI subshell and gain root privileges. (CVE-2017-6748) - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the web-based management interface due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to execute arbitrary script code in a user

"According to its self-reported version, the remote Cisco Web Security
Appliance (WSA) device is affected by one or more vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the web-based interface
    due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An
    authenticated, remote attacker who has valid
    administrator credentials can exploit this vulnerability
    to inject arbitrary commands and thereby elevate
    privileges from administrator to root. (CVE-2017-6746)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the CLI parser due to
    improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A local
    attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary commands
    and thereby escape the CLI subshell and gain root
    privileges. (CVE-2017-6748)

  - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists
    in the web-based management interface due to improper
    validation of user-supplied input before returning it to
    users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this, by convincing a user to follow a specially
    crafted link, to execute arbitrary script code in a
    user's browser session. (CVE-2017-6749)

  - A security vulnerability exists due to WSA being
    installed with a user account that has a default and
    static password. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this to gain privileged access to certain
    portions of the web-based management interface, allowing
    the attacker to download reports or disclose the
    device's serial number. (CVE-2017-6750)

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the web proxy
    functionality due to a failure to deny traffic that is
    forwarded from the web proxy interface to the
    administrative management interface of a device. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue
    to bypass access restrictions by sending a specially
    crafted stream of HTTP or HTTPS traffic to the web proxy
    interface of an affected device. (CVE-2017-6451)");
