Paul McMahan updated GERONIMO-1474:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: GERONIMO-1474.patch
Attaching a patch that will escape any special html chars read from the web,
derby, and system logs before displaying them in the log viewer portlets. The
<c:out> jstl tag is used for this purpose, setting the escapeXml attribute to
true. The JSTL 1.0 specification for this tag says:
"If escapeXml is true, the following character conversions are applied:
Character Character Entity Code
< <
> >
& &
' '
'' "
> Cross site scripting vulnerabilites

> Reported by oliver karow:
> The Web-Access-Log viewer does no filtering for html-/script-tags, and
> therefore allows attacks against the user of the admin-console:
> http://10.10.10.10:8080/jsp-examples/cal/cal2.jsp?time="/><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
> Also reported:
> The first one is a classical cross-site scripting in the jsp-examples:
> http://10.10.10.10:8080/jsp-examples/cal/cal2.jsp?time="/><script>alert('Gotcha')</script>
