Credits:
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Esteban Martinez Fayo of Application Security Inc.
Details:
Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks a legitimate web application into sending malicious code, generally in the form of a script, to an unsuspecting end user. The attack usually involves crafting a hyperlink with malicious script code embedded within it. A valid user is likely to click this link since it points to a resource on a trusted domain. The link can be posted on a web page, or sent in an instant message, or email. Clicking on the link executes the attacker-injected code in the context of the trusted web application. Typically, the code steals session cookies, which can then be used to impersonate a valid user.
There are instances of XSS vulnerabilities in the Distributed/Cross DB Features of Oracle Enterprise Manager. For example web page /em/console/database/dist/advRepl/advReplicationAdmin is vulnerable to this kind of attacks.
