Description

Symptom

AS Java can be abused by attackers, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization, and to potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.

Solution

Update your AS Java to a Support Package (SP) or release where the issue is fixed. Refer to the Support Package Patch Level section below for details and available patches.

Reason and prerequisites

The root crossdomain.xml within AS Java does not sufficiently define permission parameters. As a result, a malicious user may perform a cross-domain redirection attack against a legitimate user.

CVSS

Score 5.0 Vector: AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
