Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-02-19 06:43:57 UTC 
It was found that the JBossWeb Bayeux component would include the contents of the jsonp request parameter in the response, without escaping. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks under certain conditions. The content type of the response is text/json, which can still be interpreted as HTML by the browser if it uses content sniffing. If the browser evaluates the response, this flaw could be exploited by a DOM-based XSS attack.
