I recently scanned a new Geoserver 2.4.2 installation with HP WebInspect and 
the application
found cross-site and cross-frame scripting vulnerabilities in the Geoserver 
code.  I'd like to
report these so they can get fixed, but because of security policies (this is a 
US government
site) I can't just send the WebInspect report to a mailing list.

The cross-site scripting vulnerability is in /geoserver/view/wms and the 
cross-frame
vulnerability is in /geoserver/index.html.  If someone will email me 
([email protected])
with a direct contact email address, I will send them the full WebInspect scan 
report with the
details of what the request and response were.

Thanks,

<MR>
