An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious data into specific pages of the interface. 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 must be a member of the Administrator or AAA Administrator role.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `ucs_manager < 4.2\\(3p\\)`\n- `ucs_manager >= 4.3\\(2b\\), < 4.3\\(6a\\)`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `ucs_manager 4.3\\(6a\\)`\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **cisco-sa-ucs-xss-Ey6XhyPS** · Cisco · affected: Cisco Unified Computing System (Managed) · updated 2025-08-27 · [advisory](https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-ucs-xss-Ey6XhyPS)","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":30,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":29.7,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
