OVERVIEW¶
A Remote Code Execution vulnerability in the Management Console.
DESCRIPTION¶
Due to improper output encoding, a Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack can be carried out on the carbon console.

However, since all the session related sensitive cookies are set with httpOnly flag and protected, session hijacking or similar attacks would not be possible.
