Apache ActiveMQ createDestination.action cross-site scripting
| activemq-createdestination-xss (57397) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Apache ActiveMQ is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the createDestination.action script. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using JMSDestination to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
