Platform 5.2.2 that fixes multiple security issues is now available from
the Red Hat Customer Portal.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate

2. Description:
JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform is the open source implementation of the
Java EE suite of services and Portal services running atop JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform. It comprises a set of offerings for enterprise
customers who are looking for pre-configured profiles of JBoss Enterprise
Middleware components that have been tested and certified together to
provide an integrated experience.
Multiple reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in GateIn
Portal. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the
GateIn Portal interface, into visiting a specially-crafted URL, it would
lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's GateIn
Portal session. (CVE-2012-5531)
Red Hat would like to thank Hideharu Ohkuma of Ricoh Company for reporting
these issues.
