Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in iPlanet Web Server
The iPlanet Web Server is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to inadequate input sanitization. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of a victim user, within the context of the affected site. This could lead to the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials and enable further attacks.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update iPlanet Web Server to a patched version that properly sanitizes user-supplied input. Additionally, input validation and output encoding should be implemented to prevent XSS attacks.
