CVE-2018-0483: Cisco Jabber Client Framework Instant Message Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A vulnerability in Cisco Jabber Client Framework (JCF) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of an affected system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input of an affected client. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by executing arbitrary JavaScript in the Jabber client of the recipient. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the targeted client or allow the attacker to access sensitive client-based information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0483 is a cross-site scripting flaw in Cisco Jabber Client Framework affecting Cisco Jabber IM for Android. An authenticated attacker could send malicious instant-message content that runs script in the recipient's Jabber client after user interaction, potentially exposing client-side sensitive information. Exposure is most likely in organizations that still use Cisco Jabber IM for Android or affected Jabber Client Framework components. The provided bundle does not identify affected version ranges, so version-level exposure requires Cisco advisory review. Treat this as a moderate-priority remediation item. It can expose information through a messaging client, but available evidence indicates authentication and user interaction are required, and no active exploitation is cited in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco advisory cisco-sa-20190109-jcf-im-xss for affected and fixed release guidance.; Inventory Cisco Jabber IM for Android usage across managed and unmanaged endpoints.; Upgrade or retire affected clients according to Cisco-supported guidance..

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
