CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

com.sun.faces:jsf-impl

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to insufficient escaping of user supplied input to the <h:outputText> and EL expressions. Oracle Mojarra JSF 2.2.x before 2.2.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.28 does not perform appropriate encoding when a (1) <h:outputText> tag or (2) EL expression is used after a scriptor style block, which allows remote attackers to conduct Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks via application-specific vectors.
