The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web-based management interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected interface or access sensitive, browser-based information. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs administrator credentials. This vulnerability affects Cisco DNA Center Software releases earlier than 1.3.0.6 and 1.3.1.4.","published":"2020-02-05T18:15:11.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:19:57.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":4.8,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":["cisco/catalyst center"],"epss":{"score":0.0312,"percentile":0.87769,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2020-05-12","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":48459,"kind":"exploit","title":"Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center 1.3.1.4 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/48459","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/java/webapps/48459.txt","file":"exploits/java/webapps/48459.txt","published":"2020-05-12","added":"2020-05-12","updated":"2020-05-14","author":"Dylan Garnaud","type":"webapps","platform":"java","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2019-15253"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"A public exploit is published in Exploit-DB, so the technical barrier is gone even though the severity is medium and EPSS is 3.1%.
