This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Sun Java System Communications Express. Attackers can create malicious Web pages containing dangerous web script or HTML, which if accessed by a victim, can allow the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
Sun Java System Communications Express is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible. We don't know which versions of Java System Communications Express are affected. We will update this BID when more details emerge.
