Sun ONE Application Server Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Sun ONE Application Server does not adequately filter script code from URL parameters, making it prone to cross-site scripting attacks. Attacker-supplied script code may be included in a malicious link to a JSP application hosted on the vulnerable server. Under some circumstances if this link is followed the code will be executed in the browser of the web user who visits the link.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all user-supplied input is properly validated and filtered before being used in the application.
