Description

WebSphere Application Server contains a flaw that allows a remote script execution attack. This flaw exists because the software does not validate all script tags passed as part of an URL. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute scripting code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
