The remote host contains one or more HTML documents associated with Adobe Flex 3โs History Management Feature and affected by a DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability. Due to its failure to sanitize user input, an attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a userโs browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site, possibly by using JavaScript code flow manipulation techniques.
