Description

Novell GroupWise contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the WebAccess component does not validate the "Directory.Item.name" and "Directory.Item.displayName" parameters upon submission to the address book. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
