Title
HCL Connections is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting
Summary
HCL Connections is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) where an attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user after visiting the vulnerable URL which contains the malicious script code. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and comprise a user's account then launch other attacks.
