The remote host is running Websense, a commercial suite of web filtering products.

The remote instance of Websense fails to sanitize user input to the ‘UserName’ parameter of the ‘Websense/cgi-bin/WsCgiLogin.exe’ script before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user’s browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
