Penetration Testing: Re: XSS vulnerability on Apache Tomcat server

[Anthony LaMantia <contact () bia-security com>]

there is an article on packetstorm at this
link:http://packetstorm.decepticons.org/papers/web/xss-faq.txt


It provides some information on exploiting cross site scripting issues
on systems that use cookie based authentication, this may or may not
apply to your situation

good luck with the rest of the test
