CVE-2016-5394: Cross-site Scripting

July 19, 2017 (updated July 21, 2017)

In the XSS Protection API module in Apache Sling, the encoding done by the XSSAPI.encodeForJSString() method is not restrictive enough and for some input patterns allows script tags to pass through unencoded, leading to potential XSS vulnerabilities.
