Description

IBM has acknowledged a weakness in IBM HMC, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The problem is that the included Apache server responds to HTTP TRACE requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when combined with certain browser vulnerabilities.
