Summary

The Caching Proxy (CP) component of IBM WebSphere Edge Server versions 5.1 through 6.1 is susceptible to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. When CGI mapping rules are enabled, an attacker can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML into the application. This can occur through unspecified vectors that trigger the injection into error responses, allowing a remote attacker to manipulate the web content served to users, potentially leading to phishing attacks or the execution of malicious scripts.
