REDHAT-BUG-742984: Medium severity jboss application server vulnerability

Published Oct 3, 2011
·
Updated

A DOM based cross-site scripting flaw was found in the way the administrative console of the JBoss Application Server processed some certain messages (the 'onerror' argument was not sanitized prior further use). A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted web page and trick the valid JBoss AS user, with the administrator privilege, to visit it, which would lead into the DOM environment modification and arbitrary HTML or web script execution.
