Computer Associates Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System Server HTML Injection Vulnerability

Computer Associates Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (CA HIPS) Server is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize data from logged requests before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would execute in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

This issue affects versions of CA HIPS prior to 8.0.0.93.
