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.
