The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the CKEditor component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute scripts in a user's web browser within the security context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker to steal a user's cookie-based authentication credentials.

The version of CKEditor installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

The included 'Preview' plugin fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is affected by the multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the Apache Cordova     component, including cross-application scripting,     security bypass, and information disclosure.
    (CVE-2014-3500, CVE-2014-3501, CVE-2014-3502)

  - An information disclosure flaw exists that allows     remote authenticated attackers to obtain credentials     by reading HTML source code. (CVE-2014-4761)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an     authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the     system. (CVE-2014-4808)

  - A flaw exists that is caused by improper recursion     detection during entity expansion. By tricking a user     into opening a specially-crafted XML document, an     attacker can cause the system to crash, resulting in a     denial of service. (CVE-2014-4814)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows a remote attacker to identify whether or not a     file exists based on the web server error codes.
    (CVE-2014-4821)

  - A flaw exists in CKEditor in the Preview plugin that     allows a cross-site scripting attack. The flaw exists     due to 'plugins/preview/preview.html' not properly     validating user-supplied input before returning it to     users. This allows an attacker to send a specially     crafted request designed to steal cookie-based     authentication credentials. (CVE-2014-5191)

  - A cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists due     to improper validation of user-supplied input. By     tricking a user into visiting a malicious website, a     remote attacker can perform cross-site scripting     attacks, web cache poisoning, and other malicious     activities. (CVE-2014-6125)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists due to     improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote     attacker can execute code within a victim's web browser     within the context of the hosted site. This can lead to     the compromise of the user's cookie-based authentication     credentials. (CVE-2014-6126)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     due to improper validation of user input.
    (CVE-2014-4762)

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is 8.0.0.x prior to 8.0.0.1 CF15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in 'Apache Commons HttpClient' that allows     a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof SSL servers via a     certificate with a subject that specifies a common name     in a field that is not the CN field. (CVE-2012-6153)

  - A flaw exists in 'Apache HttpComponents' that allows a     man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof SSL servers via a     certificate with a subject that specifies a common name     in a field that is not the CN field. (CVE-2014-3577)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an     authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the     system. (CVE-2014-4808)

  - A flaw exists due to improper recursion detection during     entity expansion. A remote attacker, via a specially     crafted XML document, can cause the system to crash,     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4814)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows a remote attacker to identify whether or not a     file exists based on the web server error codes.
    (CVE-2014-4821)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the     'Preview' plugin in CKEditor, which allows a remote     attacker to inject arbitrary data via unspecified     vectors. (CVE-2014-5191)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that allows     an attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a     specially crafted URL. (CVE-2014-6171)

  - A flaw exists when the Managed Pages setting is enabled     that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to write to     pages via an XML injection attack. (CVE-2014-6193)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the Blog     Portlet, which allows an attacker to inject arbitrary     data via a specially crafted URL. (CVE-2014-8902)
