Detail

Product: Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition

A defect in the Javadoc tool in various releases of the JDK may lead to the generation of HTML documentation pages which contain a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This may allow a remote user to gain access to cookies from the website that hosts the generated documentation.

Sun acknowledges, with thanks, Martin Straka, for bringing this issue to our attention.

Avoidance: Upgrade
