A flaw was found in the way javadoc (Java API Documentation Generator) created a JavaScript code used to set browser window title when navigating between pages of the generated API documentation. An input from user was not properly escaped before being used as part of the JavaScript string. A specially crafted input could "break out" of the JS string and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the domain that hosts generated API documentation, allowing a Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

It was discovered that the AWT component did not properly manage and restrict certain resources related to the processing of fonts. An untrusted Java application or applet could possibly use this flaw to exhaust available resources and cause a denial of service.

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.
