Comment: Proof of concept code is available for this vulnerability.

OVERVIEW:

       A vulnerability has been identified in Cisco Adaptive Security 
       Appliance (ASA) clientless SSL VPN feature.


IMPACT:

       The vendor describes the vulnerability as being due to "... 
       insufficient input validation within the WebVPN clientless mode
       feature." This vulnerability could be exploited by attackers to
       allow cross-site scripting attacks, and potentially the execution
       of arbitrary code. [1]   
       

MITIGATION:

       While the vulnerability has been confirmed by the vendor, no updates
       are yet available. The vendor recommends restricting access to affected
       systems to trusted users only, and advises that users should not follow
       unsolicited links, and always ensure that they have verified the 
       authenticity of links prior to following them. [1]
