Description

Adam Pointon has reported two vulnerabilities in CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE), which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges or by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "displayMsg" parameter in "/wlse/configure/archive/archiveApplyDisplay.jsp" in the WLSE appliance web interface is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

2) Several errors in the "show" CLI application can be exploited to gain a shell account with root privileges from the command line interface.


Solution
Update to version 2.13 or later.
