Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.2.110.0 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) add administrative accounts via screens/aaa/mgmtuser_create.html or (2) insert XSS sequences via the headline parameter to screens/base/web_auth_custom.html, aka Bug ID CSCud50283.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Cisco Wireless LAN Controller software 7.2.110.0 had CSRF flaws that could let an attacker abuse a logged-in administrator's browser. The described impact includes creating administrative accounts and placing persistent script content into a web-authentication customization field. No source in the bundle confirms active exploitation or a vendor fix. Exposure is most plausible where Cisco WLC administrative interfaces are reachable by administrators who may browse untrusted content while authenticated. The bundle only names Cisco WLC software 7.2.110.0, so other versions should not be assumed affected without Cisco guidance. Treat as high priority for legacy Cisco wireless infrastructure because the described outcomes include administrative account creation. Prioritize inventory and management-plane restriction first, then confirm Cisco-supported remediation. Urgency is lower if no WLC 7.2.110.0 systems exist. Mitigation focus: Check Cisco guidance for CSCud50283 and apply any documented fixed release or workaround.; Inventory Cisco WLC devices and identify any running software 7.2.110.0.; Restrict WLC management interfaces to trusted administrator networks only..
