In HtmlUnit, a GUI-Less browser for Java programs, malicious JavaScript code was able to execute arbitrary Java code on the application.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.8-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your htmlunit packages.

For the detailed security status of htmlunit please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/htmlunit
