Security Bulletin: A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affects IBM Performance Management products

Security Bulletin


Summary

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was found in Application Performance Management. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks occur when data enters a Web application through an untrusted source, most frequently a web request and the data is included in dynamic content that is sent to a web user without being validated for malicious content. The malicious content sent to the web browser often takes the form of a segment of JavaScript, but may also include HTML, Flash, or any other type of code that the browser may execute.

The attacker-supplied code can perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials or performing arbitrary actions on the victim's behalf
