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