IBM WebSphere Portal is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An authenticated attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

" style="position:absolute; top:-100px; left:-100px; width:10000 px; height:10000px; z-index:999;" onmousemove="alert('XSS')">
