Error description

  • IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) is vulnerable to cross-site
    scripting (XSS) because user-supplied input is improperly
    neutralized in some error situations. A remote attacker could
    exploit this vulnerability by using a specially crafted URL to
    run a script in your web browser within the security context of
    the hosting web site when the URL is clicked. An attacker could
    use this vulnerability to steal your cookie-based authentication
    credentials.
