Sun Java System Portal Server Portlets Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Some unspecified Portlets bundled with Sun Java System Portal Server are prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because they fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of an affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Sun Java System Portal Server 7.0 and 7.1 are affected.
