The issue concerns multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. The attack can be performed via the

For BlackBoard Learning System version 6.3.1.593 and earlier, update to a version later than 6.3.1.593 to resolve the issue.
For BlackBoard Academic Suite versions prior to 6.3.1.593, update to a version later than 6.3.1.593 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable "messaging/course/composeMessage.jsp" page until a patch is available.
Avoid using the
subject t and body text parameters in the affected page until the issue is resolved.Fix
