Id	Description
62511	CA Service Desk Tomcat host-manager/html/add name Parameter XSS CA Service Desk Tomcat contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'name' parameter upon submission to the 'host-manager/html/add' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
