CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects Java applications that inadequately sanitize user-supplied input in URL parameters, allowing for the injection of malicious JavaScript payloads. This can lead to user redirection to malicious sites, UI manipulation, or unauthorized data retrieval, although session hijacking risks are mitigated by the httpOnly flag on sensitive cookies. Organizations using Java applications should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to protect their users from potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The affected product accepts user-supplied input within a URL parameter without enforcing expected sanitization or encoding before rendering it within the response. This condition allows for the injection of malicious JavaScript payloads. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to cause the user's browser to redirect to a malicious website, modify the user interface of the webpage, or retrieve sensitive information from the browser. However, the impact is mitigated for session hijacking as all session-related sensitive cookies are protected by the httpOnly flag.
