CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Privilege escalation

WHERE:
>From remote

OPERATING SYSTEM:
CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/2187/

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.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:

The vendor also credits Mathieu Pepin for reporting the second
vulnerability.
