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 · unedited
Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Common Services Platform Collector (CSPC) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the interface. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities 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.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a stored or reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Common Services Platform Collector (CSPC) Software. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious scripts via crafted links that, when clicked by a user, execute in the context of the interface.

MitigationApply the vendor patch from Cisco when available. As an interim measure, users should avoid clicking untrusted links to the CSPC management interface.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed CSPC version
    Access the CSPC web management interface and navigate to the About or System Information page to view the software version. Alternatively, log into the CSPC server via CLI and run: show version or similar command to retrieve the installed CSPC software version.
    Affected if The displayed version number is less than 2.10.0.2 (for example, 2.9.x, 2.8.x, or earlier releases).
  2. Confirm web-based management interface is enabled
    Verify that the CSPC web-based management interface is accessible by attempting to reach the management URL (typically https://<CSPC-IP> or the configured management hostname) from a browser or curl request.
    Affected if The web interface responds and is reachable, meaning the attack surface is active.
  3. Determine if unauthenticated access to the login page is possible
    Attempt to access the CSPC login page without credentials to confirm the interface accepts unauthenticated requests.
    Affected if The login page or unauthenticated endpoints are accessible without authentication, allowing an attacker to potentially deliver malicious links.

You are affected if your installed Cisco CSPC version is below 2.10.0.2 and the web-based management interface is enabled and accessible to users who could click crafted links.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.10.0.2 or later
Fixed in 2.10.0.2
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor patch from Cisco when available. As an interim measure, users should avoid clicking untrusted links to the CSPC management interface.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Upgrade to Cisco CSPC version 2.10.0.2 or later

  1. Identify the currently installed Cisco Common Services Platform Collector (CSPC) version
  2. Access the CSPC management interface or use command-line tools to check the version
  3. Download Cisco CSPC version 2.10.0.2 or later from the Cisco website or your Cisco smart account
  4. Follow Cisco's standard upgrade procedure for CSPC - typically via the administration interface or CLI using the upgrade command
  5. After upgrade, verify the new version is 2.10.0.2 or higher
  6. Clear browser cache to ensure no cached vulnerable code remains
