Cross-site Scripting (XSS) Security Vulnerabilities in Sun Java Web Console May Allow Execution of Arbitrary Code

1. Impact

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Sun Java Web Console may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to execute arbitrary scripting code within a user's browsing session.

Sun acknowledges with thanks, Luca Carettoni for bringing these issues to our attention.

2. Contributing Factors

These issues can occur in the following releases:

SPARC Platform

• Sun Java Web Console 3.0.2 (for Solaris 8) without patch 136987-03
• Sun Java Web Console 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 3.0.5 (for Solaris 9) without patch 125950-19
• Solaris 10 without patch 125952-19

From the Web Console Login or Launch page, click the version link in the top left corner of the page. Alternatively, the command "smcwebserver -V" can be used.

3. Symptoms
