Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in IBM Lotus Sametime Server
The IBM Lotus Sametime Server is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. 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 allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
It is recommended to apply the latest security patches or updates provided by IBM to address this vulnerability. Additionally, users can implement input validation and output encoding techniques to mitigate the risk of XSS attacks.
