CVE-2012-2160
IBM Rational Change 5.3 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.93%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
IBM Rational Change 5.3 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the SUPP_TEMPLATE_FLAG parameter in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
