Description Mark J. Cox 2007-06-19 09:56:26 UTC 
According to http://tomcat.apache.org/security-5.html

low: Cross-site scripting   CVE-2007-2449

JSPs within the examples web application did not escape user provided data
before including it in the output. This enabled a XSS attack. These JSPs now
filter the data before use. This issue may be mitigated by undeploying the
examples web application. Note that it is recommended that the examples web
application is not installed on a production system.

Affects: 5.0.0-5.0.30, 5.5.0-5.5.24

example:
http://host:port/jsp-examples/snp/snoop.jsp;<script>alert()</script>test.jsp
