CVE-2013-1571: Medium severity Oracle JDK vulnerability
Published Jun 12, 2013
·Updated
It was found that documentation generated by javadoc was vulnerable to a frame injection attack. If such documentation was accessible over a network, and a remote attacker could trick a user into visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's session if permitted by the browser. It could also be used to perform a phishing attack, by providing frame content that spoofed a login form on the site hosting the vulnerable documentation.
Other sources
Unspecified vulnerability in the Javadoc component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 21 and earlier, 6 Update 45 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 45 and earlier; JavaFX 2.2.21 and earlier; and OpenJDK 7 allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors related to Javadoc. NOTE: the previous information is from the June 2013 CPU. Oracle has not commented on claims from another vendor that this issue is related to frame injection in HTML that is generated by Javadoc.
