NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream eap7-jboss-weld-3.1-api-weld-api package and not the eap7-jboss-weld-3.1-api-weld-api package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

By default, Apache CXF creates a /services page containing a listing of the available endpoint names and addresses. This webpage is vulnerable to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack, which allows a malicious actor to inject javascript into the web page. Please note that the attack exploits a feature which is not typically not present in modern browsers, who remove dot segments before sending the request. However, Mobile applications may be vulnerable.
