| CVE-2017-12258 | 1 Cisco | 1 Unified Communications Manager | 2025-04-20 | 4.3 MEDIUM | 6.1 MEDIUM |
| A vulnerability in the web-based UI of Cisco Unified Communications Manager could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute a cross-frame scripting (XFS) attack. The vulnerability exists because the affected software does not provide sufficient protections for HTML inline frames (iframes). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by directing a user of the affected software to an attacker-controlled web page that contains a malicious HTML inline frame. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to conduct click-jacking or other types of client-side browser attacks. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCve60993. | |||||

| CVE-2017-8108 | 1 Cisofy | 1 Lynis | 2025-04-20 | 4.6 MEDIUM | 7.8 HIGH |
| Unspecified tests in Lynis before 2.5.0 allow local users to write to arbitrary files or possibly gain privileges via a symlink attack on a temporary file. | |||||
| CVE-2016-7619 | 1 Apple | 3 Iphone Os, Mac Os X, Watchos | 2025-04-20 | 2.1 LOW | 5.5 MEDIUM |
| An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. macOS before 10.12.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.3 is affected. The issue involves the "libarchive" component, which allows local users to write to arbitrary files via vectors related to symlinks. | |||||
