IBM WebSphere Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

IBM WebSphere is a series of commercial webserver and webserver related products.

IBM WebSphere does not filter script embedding from user-submitted links that are displayed on the server's websites. A malicious webmaster can exploit this vulnerability to cause JavaScript commands or embedded scripts to be executed by any user who clicks on the hyper-link.

When the malicious hyper-link is clicked it will produce the standard error message for the webserver, but it will also run the arbitrary code in the same browser as the domain.
