Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-1118 is a cross-site scripting issue reported in RSA Authentication Agent for Web 5.2. A remote attacker could inject web script or HTML through the postdata parameter. Because this affects an authentication-related web component, exposed legacy IIS deployments deserve review, but the provided sources do not include CVSS, patch details, or active exploitation evidence. Likely limited to legacy Microsoft IIS environments still running RSA Authentication Agent for Web 5.2 and exposing the affected web agent interface. Organizations without this specific product/version are unlikely to be exposed based on the provided evidence. Handle as a legacy authentication-surface risk. It is not KEV-listed and lacks severity data, but authentication components can carry business impact if exposed. Prioritize asset confirmation first, then vendor-supported remediation or replacement. Mitigation focus: Inventory IIS systems for RSA Authentication Agent for Web 5.2.; Check RSA or successor vendor guidance for fixed versions or mitigations.; Restrict external access to affected authentication agent endpoints where feasible..
