Description: A vulnerability was reported in WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The WebLogic Server Administration Console does 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.
|
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 9.0 and 9.1).
