Cisco Response
==============
This is Cisco PSIRT response to the statements made by Fujitsu
Services Limited in their advisory, posted on June 15, 2006 to
several external mailing lists.
This vulnerability is addressed by Cisco Bug ID:
* CSCsd50560 ACS LogonProxy.cgi vulnerable to Cross Site
Scripting attacks.
We would like to thank Thomas Liam Romanis and Fujitsu Services
Limited for reporting this vulnerability to us.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with researchers on
security vulnerabilities, and welcome the opportunity to review and

Additional Information
======================
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) is a centralized user access
control framework. Cisco Secure ACS offers centralized command and
control for all user authentication, authorization, and accounting
(AAA pronounced "triple A") services to network devices that function
as AAA clients.
Cisco Secure ACS for UNIX LogonProxy.cgi is vulnerable to Cross Site
Scripting (XSS) attacks via both HTML GET and POST requests.
This vulnerability affects only Cisco Secure ACS for Unix.
Cisco Secure ACS for Windows and Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine are
not affected.
This vulnerability could be used to redirect the ACS administrative
users to another host which could be used to proxy login requests
back to the bona fide ACS server while harvesting administrative user
credentials.
Solution

* Prevent access to the web component of the ACS server over the
Internet.
