Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Oracle Mojarra Software

CVE-2013-5855

Summary

A flaw in Oracle Mojarra versions prior to 2.2.6 and 2.1.28 allows attackers to exploit insufficient encoding practices. Specifically, the vulnerability arises when the <h:outputText> tag or EL expression is used following a script or style block, enabling potential remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Without proper encoding, malicious actors can inject arbitrary scripts into web pages, which may compromise user data and session integrity. It is crucial for developers and administrators to apply the recommended updates to safeguard their applications.
