CVE-2018-0220
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Videoscape AnyRes Live could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based management interface of an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the interface or allow the attacker to access sensitive browser-based information. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvg87525.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed productLocate Cisco Videoscape AnyRes Live in your environment by querying installed software listings, checking system inventory, or reviewing network device documentationAffected if The product is not Cisco Videoscape AnyRes Live, this CVE does not apply
-
Verify the product versionAccess the web-based management interface and navigate to the About or System Information section to find the exact version number, or use the CLI command provided by Cisco documentation to query the versionAffected if The installed version is exactly 9.7.6, making it vulnerable
-
Confirm management interface accessibilityDetermine if the web-based management interface is enabled and reachable on the network by checking service bindings, firewall rules, or attempting to access the management URLAffected if The management interface is exposed, the vulnerability can be exploited
-
Review user accounts for compromiseCheck for unauthorized or unexpected user accounts in the management interface user database, particularly accounts with elevated privileges that may indicate successful exploitationAffected if Unexpected accounts exist, it may indicate prior exploitation
-
Inspect web logs for exploitation signaturesReview web server access logs and application logs for suspicious requests containing script tags, JavaScript event handlers, or unusual URL patterns in referrer fields that may indicate XSS probe attemptsAffected if Suspicious XSS patterns are found in logs, the vulnerability may have been targeted
You are affected if Cisco Videoscape AnyRes Live version 9.7.6 is installed AND the web-based management interface is accessible on your network.
