Description:
Two vulnerabilities were reported in IBM WEBi. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks. The impact of the other vulnerability was not specified.
A remote user can cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser (APAR IO13663). The code will originate from the site running the IBM WEBi 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.
The second vulnerability was assigned APAR IO13806. No details were provided.
