Title: IBM Websphere Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

IBM Websphere is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

IBM Websphere, under some circumstances, does not filter script code from URL parameters. This may enable an attacker to create a malicious link which contains arbitrary script code. The malicious link must contain a single dot-dot-slash (../) sequence, followed by the arbitrary script code. For example:

http://websphereserver/../<script>alert('helloworld')</script>

Exploitation of this issue will enable an attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of a web user who visits the malicious link, in the security context of the host running the vulnerable software.
