VulnerabilityCVE-2026-20132cvecve-2026-20132
Published: Wed Apr 15 2026 (04/15/2026, 16:03:14 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Cisco
Product: Cisco Identity Services Engine Software

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative write privileges to conduct a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack or a reflected XSS attack against a user of the web-based management interface of an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data that is stored in the web page. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user of the interface to click a specific link or view an affected web page. The injected script code may be executed in the context of the web-based management interface or allow the attacker to access sensitive browser-based information.

Technical Analysis

Multiple stored and reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist in Cisco Identity Services Engine's web management interface due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated remote attackers with administrative write privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the interface, potentially exposing sensitive browser-based information. The vulnerability affects a broad range of versions from 3.1.0 to 3.4 Patch 1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.8 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, user interaction required, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No vendor-provided patch or remediation level is currently documented.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with administrative write privileges to perform stored or reflected XSS attacks against users of the Cisco ISE web interface. This can lead to execution of arbitrary script code in the context of the management interface, potentially exposing sensitive browser-based information. The vulnerability does not impact availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Cisco vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit administrative write access to trusted users only and exercise caution when clicking links or viewing pages in the Cisco ISE management interface. Monitor Cisco advisories for updates on patches or mitigations.
