webMathematica XSS Vulnerability in MSP script with local path disclosure and potential victims in universities and high schools worldwide

Code

                                                
In some installations, the MSP script of webMathematica is vulnerable to 
reflected XSS. Just insert a backslash after the script name MSP, which is 
normally located under the "webMathematica" folder:

http://www.example.com/webMathematica/MSP\<script>alert('a')</script>

Oh and of course a local path disclosure:
http://www.example.com/webMathematica/MSP

You can find victims with this Google search string:

inurl:"/webMathematica/" -wolfram.com

Most victims are universities and high schools all over the world, from Finland, 
Switzerland, Czech Republic, Russia, America and Japan.

Don't forget that a lot of universities are part of Microsoft's MSDN and the students
can download nearly all Microsoft software for free. This could be an interesting exploiting
scenario.
