Oracle XML DB is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

This issue was originally described and addressed in Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2005, BID 13139 (Oracle Multiple Vulnerabilities). Due to the availability of more information, this issue is being assigned a separate BID.
