CVE-2016-6800
It is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript code in these form fields.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The default configuration of the Apache OFBiz framework offers a blog functionality. Different users are able to operate blogs which are related to specific parties. In the form field for the creation of new blog articles the user input of the summary field as well as the article field is not properly sanitized. It is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript code in these form fields. This code gets executed from the browser of every user who is visiting this article. Mitigation: Upgrade to Apache OFBiz 16.11.01.
