CVE-2013-5855: XSS

First published: Fri Feb 14 2014(Updated: )

It was found that Mojarra JSF would not properly escape user-supplied content in certain circumstances. The contents of outputText tags and raw EL expressions that immediately follow <script> or <style> elements were not escaped. If a remote attacker could trick a user into visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the user's browser.
