CVE-2013-1879: XSS
First published: Thu Jul 18 2013(Updated: )
Apache ActiveMQ is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input when handling cron jobs. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using specific parameters to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
