CVE-2014-2120 is an XSS vulnerability in the WebVPN login page of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software. Cisco’s advisory states that this vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation, allowing attackers to create malicious links that run arbitrary scripts in a victim’s browser when clicked.
The advisory warns that an attacker could exploit vulnerabilities to target WebVPN users on certain Cisco ASA devices without needing authentication.
In November 2024, Cisco PSIRT reported renewed exploitation activity. The company advises customers to upgrade to a fixed software release to address the vulnerability but will not offer free software updates for issues highlighted in Security Notices.
