Description

Novell GroupWise WebAccess contains a flaw that may allow a remote cross-site scripting attack. The 'webacc' program fails to validate the 'User.html', 'Error', 'User.Theme.index' and 'User.lang' variables before being returned to the user. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server.
