Description

Guard contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unspecified malformed URL strings when anti-spoofing is enabled and the appliance issues a meta-refresh. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
