> 1. OVERVIEW
>
> The Help Content web application of Eclipse IDE was vulnerable to
> Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability.
>
>
> 2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
>
> Eclipse is a multi-language software development environment
> comprising an integrated development environment (IDE) and an
> extensible plug-in system. It is written mostly in Java and can be
> used to develop applications in Java and, by means of various
> plug-ins, other programming languages including Ada, C, C++, COBOL,
> Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby (including Ruby on Rails framework), Scala,
> and Scheme. The IDE is often called Eclipse ADT for Ada, Eclipse CDT
> for C/C++, Eclipse JDT for Java, and Eclipse PDT for PHP.
>
>
> 3. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION
>
> Eclipse Help Contents are served as a web application via the built-in
> Jetty Web Server plugin. Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities were
> found in /help/index.jsp and /help/advanced/content.jsp URLs. XSS on
> /help/advanced/content.jsp url makes the browser hang
> but even after clicking "Stop Executing" button, users can still get
> XSS.
>
>
> 4. VERSIONS AFFECTED

> 6. IMPACT
>
> In a situation where users' browser security settings are weak, the
> localized XSS vector could enable attackers to perform a number of
> black acts including cross site content access, smb shares
> enumeration, remote code execution, malicious trojan downloading and
> execution ...etc.
>
>
> 7. SOLUTION
>
> Apply the recent error-free nightly builds (ie.

> , it will also be in 3.6.2 (February 2011) and 3.7 (June 2011).
