What is CVE-2016-2967?

IBM Sametime versions 8.5.2 and 9.0 are susceptible to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, which enable malicious users to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into users' away messages. This compromises the integrity of the user session, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure, including user credentials. The issue arises when input is not properly validated, allowing attackers to exploit the messaging functionality to deliver harmful scripts. It is crucial for administrators to apply fixes as outlined in IBM's advisory to ensure system security.
