Synopsis

CA SiteMinder WebAgent Cross-Site Scripting

Description

CA SiteMinder is an unified access management platform which provides Single Sign-On features and identity federation for seamless access. CA SiteMinder WebAgent, one of this platform components, suffers from a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability through some `fcc` endpoints. By crafting a specific payload in the URL, a remote and unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to inject malicious JavaScript executed in the context of the target victim user browser.

Solution

Apply the workaround provided by the vendor to escape HTML encoding characters on fcc endpoints.
