What is CVE-2017-1500?

A reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability is present in the authorization function of the RESTful Web API within IBM Worklight Framework. This flaw affects several versions of the product and allows an attacker to manipulate the 'scope' parameter. If an unrecognized 'realm' value is used, the system responds with an HTTP 403 Forbidden status, reflecting the malicious input in the HTTP response body. An attacker could craft a request to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, potentially allowing them to alter the authorization flow and gain access to sensitive information, including user credentials, within a trusted session.

Affected Version(s)

Worklight 6.1
