IBM Maximo debug.jsp cross-site scripting
| ibm-maximo-debug-xss (43730) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
IBM Maximo is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the debug.jsp script. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the "Accept", "Accept-Language", "UA-CPU", "Accept-Encoding", "User-Agent" or "Cookie" HTTP header in a specially-crafted HTTP GET request to inject malicious script into a log file which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the vulnerable application, once the file is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to launch further attacks against the affected system.
