JOnAS is a leading edge Open Source implementation by OW2 of the Java EE specification  
  
  
Linked XSS vulnerability found in JOnAS engine.  
Using this vulnerabilities attacker can steal admin's cookie and then   
authentificate as administrator or perform certain administrative   
actions.

*******  
  
Linked XSS vulnerabilities found in script ListMBeanDetails.do. vulnerable parameter select.  
  
In normal case "select" parameter looks like this:  
  
select=jonas:j2eeType=EJBModule  
  
  
when we try to include another variable with te same name, for example like this:  
  
  
select=jonas:j2eeType=EJBModule,j2eeType=EJBModule  
  
  
So we will see the error page which will tell us that "j2eeType" variable are also defined.  
When we include javascipt code into variable name it will appear in error page:  
  
select=jonas:j2eeType<script>alert()</script>=EJBModule,j2eeType<script>alert()</script>=EJBModule

http://localhost:9000/jonasAdmin/ListMBeanDetails.do?select=jonas%3Aj2eeType<script>alert('DSecRG%20XSS')</script>%3DEJBModule%2Cj2eeType<script>alert('DSecRG%20XSS')</script>%3DEJBModule
