Technical details
An improper input neutralization vulnerability in the Apache Sling XSS web console plugin allows reflected or stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The vulnerability stems from inadequate escaping of user-supplied input during HTML generation. An attacker can craft malicious input that bypasses XSS protections, executing arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim's browser session.
