HTTP: Oracle BEA Weblogic Server console-help.portal Cross-Site Scripting

There exists a cross-site scripting vulnerability in BEA Weblogic Server. The vulnerability is due to an input validation error in certain console-help.portal pages that allow attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript code that would be executed in a user's web browser. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary HTML or script code on the client system. Successful exploitation would result in compromise of target user's cookies (including authentication cookies) associated with the site, and modification of user information.

Extended Description
