CVE-2020-3192
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 Prime Collaboration Provisioning could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based management interface. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface. 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 access sensitive, browser-based information.

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 if Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning is installedCheck your systems for the presence of Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning software. This is typically installed on dedicated servers and may be visible in installed programs list, services, or documentation.Affected if The software is found on the system
-
Determine the installed version of Cisco Prime Collaboration ProvisioningAccess the web-based management interface and navigate to the About or version information page, or check the software installation directory for version files. Alternatively, use system inventory tools if available.Affected if The installed version is 12.6 or any version lower than 12.6
-
Verify the web management interface is accessibleAttempt to reach the Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning web interface via browser using the configured hostname or IP address on the management port (typically 443 or 8080).Affected if The web interface is reachable from network segments where untrusted users could click malicious links
-
Confirm user access to the management interfaceReview which user groups have access to the web-based management interface and whether external or untrusted users could potentially be targeted with crafted links.Affected if Untrusted users or external parties have access to the management interface and could be lured into clicking malicious links
You are affected if Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning is installed with version 12.6 or any version below 12.6 and the web management interface is accessible to users who could click malicious links.
