Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in +CSCOT+/translation in Cisco Secure Desktop 3.4.2048, and other versions before 3.5; as used in Cisco ASA appliance before 8.2(1), 8.1(2.7), and 8.0(5); allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted POST parameter, which is not properly handled by an eval statement in binary/mainv.js that writes to start.html.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects old Cisco Secure Desktop components used with Cisco ASA SSL VPN portals. A remote attacker could inject script or HTML into a user-facing flow, creating a browser-side compromise risk for VPN users. The sources do not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where legacy Cisco ASA SSL VPN or WebVPN deployments still serve Cisco Secure Desktop components, especially internet-facing VPN portals running versions listed as before the fixed releases. Treat this as a legacy internet-facing VPN risk. It is not proven actively exploited in the provided sources, but affected systems are old and security-sensitive, so confirm whether any remain exposed and prioritize upgrade or retirement. Mitigation focus: Confirm Cisco guidance for CVE-2010-0440 and applicable platform support status.; Upgrade Cisco Secure Desktop to 3.5 or later where still supported.; Upgrade ASA software to 8.2(1), 8.1(2.7), 8.0(5), or later applicable fixed releases..
