SUMMARY
The Symantec ASG and ProxySG management consoles are susceptible to several vulnerabilities. A remote attacker, with access to the management console, can cause denial of service through management console application crashes. A malicious appliance administrator can also inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the management console and target other administrator users with malicious code.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
These vulnerabilities can only be exploited through the ASG and ProxySG management interfaces. Symantec recommends that customers deploy ASG and ProxySG in a secure network and restrict access to the management interfaces. Not deploying the appliances in a secure network or restricting management interface access increases the threat of exploiting the vulnerabilities.
