CVE-2011-2607

Vulnerability

IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) 3.0 is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The issue is reported as Work Item 165513 and resides in an unspecified parameter. An attacker can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the application through that parameter.

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious URL or input that contains JavaScript or HTML code in the affected parameter. When a victim views the crafted content, the injected script executes in the context of the user's session. No authentication or special network position is required beyond the ability to deliver the malicious input to the application.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary script or HTML in the victim's browser. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. The impact is dependent on the user's privileges and the sensitivity of the data accessible via RTC.

Mitigation

As of the publication date, no official patch or workaround is documented in the available references [1]. IBM may have released an update after this date; users should consult IBM support for the latest fix.
