Description:
mrhinkydink has reported a security issue in Websense, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The security issue is caused due to the improper filtering of certain HTTP requests. This can be exploited to bypass URL filtering rules and gain access to restricted websites via specially crafted User-Agent fields in outgoing HTTP headers.
The security issue is reported in version 6.3.1. Prior versions may also be affected.
