Oracle Application Express NOTIFICATION_MSG cross-site scripting
| oracle-notification-msg-xss (30107) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Oracle Application Express (APEX) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the NOTIFICATION_MSG parameter in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
