Description

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager is a centralized management
platform that allows system administrators to view and manage virtual
machines. The Manager provides a comprehensive range of features including
search capabilities, resource management, live migrations, and virtual
infrastructure provisioning.

The Manager is a JBoss Application Server application that provides several
interfaces through which the virtual environment can be accessed and
interacted with, including an Administration Portal, a User Portal, and a
Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface
(API).

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization Manager. An attacker could construct a carefully-crafted
URL, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause the user's web
browser to execute malicious script in the context of the Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Manager domain. (CVE-2013-4181)

Red Hat would like to thank Kayhan KAYIHAN of Endersys A.Ş. for reporting
this issue.
