Description: A vulnerability was reported in WebLogic Workshop and the Apache Beehive NetUI framework. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Several scripts do not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can create
a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's
browser. The code will originate from the site running the WebLogic software and will run in the security context of that site.
As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with
the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the
target user.
Applications implemented using the WebLogic Workshop or Apache Beehive NetUI framework with page flows may be affected.
|
Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the
WebLogic software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting
as the target user.
|
Solution: The vendor has issued fixes (10.0 Maintenance Pack 1, 9.2 Maintenance Pack 2, and a patch for 8.1 Service Pack 6).
