Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Novell User Application and Novell Identity Manager Roles Based Provisioning Module, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion and cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed via the "rtnaddr" attribute to ForgotPassword.jsf is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

This vulnerability is reported in Identity Manager Roles Based Provisioning Module 3.6.0 and 3.6.1, and User Application 3.5.0 and 3.5.1.

2) Input passed to "Detail Portlet" and "Request & Approval Forms" is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.

3) Input passed via unspecified parameters to the portal is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
