A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Industrial Network Director (IND) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack and perform arbitrary actions on an affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient CSRF protections for the web-based management interface of the affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to follow a malicious link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to use a web browser and the privileges of the user to perform arbitrary actions on an affected device. For more information about CSRF attacks and potential mitigations, see Understanding Cross-Site Request Forgery Threat Vectors.

A vulnerability in Cisco Industrial Network Director could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of content submitted to the affected application. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending requests containing malicious values to the affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct XSS attacks.
