The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the CKEditor component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute scripts in a userβs web browser within the security context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker to steal a userβs cookie-based authentication credentials.
