The version of WebShield UI hosted on the remote web server has a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. Input to the ‘bodyStyle’ parameter of ProcessTextFiles is not properly sanitized.
A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into requesting a maliciously crafted URL, resulting in arbitrary script code execution.
This application has several other vulnerabilities, though Nessus has not checked for those issues.
