CVE-2016-1294: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Management Center in Cisco FireSIGHT System Software 6.0.1...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-1294 is a cross-site scripting issue in Cisco FireSIGHT Management Center running System Software 6.0.1. A remote attacker could inject script or HTML through a crafted cookie. For executives, the business concern is compromise of a security management interface, but the provided sources do not include severity, CVSS, or exploitation evidence. Exposure is limited to organizations running Cisco FireSIGHT System Software 6.0.1 Management Center. Risk increases where the management interface is reachable by broad internal networks or untrusted users. The bundle does not identify other affected Cisco products or versions. Treat this as a targeted remediation item for legacy Cisco security management infrastructure. It is not supported by known active exploitation evidence in the bundle, but management-console XSS can carry elevated operational risk if administrators use affected systems. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20160115-fmc1 for fixed software and official workarounds.; Restrict FireSIGHT Management Center access to trusted administrative networks only.; Confirm whether any FireSIGHT Management Center instances still run System Software 6.0.1..
