Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Novell GroupWise versions prior to 2014 R2 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 2

Description A reflected XSS issue exists in the web console of the Document Viewer Agent, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute JavaScript in the context of a valid user's browser session by getting the user to click on a specially crafted link, which could lead to session compromise or other browser-based attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2014 R2 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 2, update to 2014 R2 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Document Viewer Agent's web console to minimize the risk of exploitation.
