Synopsis
The remote web server contains a Java web application that is affected by two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Description
The remote host is running Apache Jackrabbit, an open source webapp that implements the Java Content Repository (JCR) API.The version of Apache Jackrabbit running on the remote host fails to sanitize user input to the 'q' parameter of the 'search.jsp' and 'swr.jsp' pages before including it in dynamic HTML output. An attacker can exploit these issues to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
Solution
Upgrade to Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.2 or later.See Also
