Sun Java System Portal Server XSLT code execution
| sun-jsps-xslt-code-execution (35811) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Sun Java System Portal Server could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a vulnerability in the Java XML Digital Signature implementation. By sending a specially-crafted XML signature containing a malicious XSLT stylesheet, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary Java code on the system with the application's permissions.
