Multiple IBM products are prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

This issue affects IBM Lotus Web Content Management, WebSphere Portal, and Lotus Quickr. 


Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to follow a malicious URI.

The following example URIs are available:

http://www.example.com/wps/wcm/webinterface/login/login.jsp?";><script>maliciou s_script</script><b%20"

http://www.example.com/wps/wcm/webinterface/login/login.jsp?"; style="tr:expression(malicious_script)
