Description |
IBM Net.Data contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate Macro names upon submission to the "DTWP001E" error message. 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. |

Solution |
Currently, there are no known upgrades or patches to correct this vulnerability. It is possible to temporarily work around the flaw by implementing the following workaround to ensure a specific error message is returned to users: Edit the Net.Data configuration file (db2www.ini) by adding a "DTW_DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGE" entry (or "DTW_DEFAULT_MACRO" on zOS/iServer) that specifies a fixed error message. |
