Potential Security issue - XSS Vulnerability in JPP 6.1

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We are currently performing security penetration testing for a critical portal application and we noticed some potential ways to use XSS attacks. It seems still possible to inject malicious characters (not all are being escaped in the URL request) when using a Richfaces portlet application.

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Portal
