Content
VULNERABILITY DETAILS:
CVE ID: CVE-2013-0458 (PM71139)
DESCRIPTION: WebSphere Application Server could allow a cross-site scripting
attack, caused by improper validation of input in the Administrative console.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted
URL to inject script into a victims Web browser within the security context of
the hosting Web site. This does not occur if Global security is enabled.
