IBM WebSphere Application Server Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate unexpected results in the application. Additionally, applications should use a secure method to transfer data between the client and the server, such as HTTPS.
