How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-20180 is a stored XSS vulnerability in Cisco AsyncOS Software for Secure Email and Web Manager and Secure Email Gateway. The flaw arises due to insufficient input validation in the web-based management interface. An authenticated attacker (with Operator-level privileges) can inject malicious scripts into the interface by tricking a user into clicking a crafted link. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary script execution in the context of the affected interface, potentially compromising sensitive browser data.
