Summary
o Multiple vulnerabilities in the chat feed feature of Cisco SocialMiner
could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the web-based user interface of
an affected system.
These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient sanitization of
user-supplied input delivered to the chat feed as part of an HTTP request.
An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by persuading a user to
follow a link to attacker-controlled content. A successful exploit could
allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the
affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information.
There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
