        ActionForm object to execute arbitrary code.
        (CVE-2014-0114)
    
      - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists which allows
        a remote, authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary
        web script or HTML. (CVE-2014-0910)
    
      - An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists
        that allows a remote attacker to crash the host by
        sending a specially crafted web request to cause a
        consumption of resources. (CVE-2014-0949)
    
      - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the
        'boot_config.jsp' script due to improper validation of

        (CVE-2014-0953)
    
      - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Web
        Content Viewer portlet due to improper handling of JSP
        includes. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to
        obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service,
        or control the request dispatcher by sending a specially
        crafted URL request. (CVE-2014-0954)
    
      - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists
        due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An
        attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary
        script code in the security context of a user's web
        browser to steal authentication cookies. (CVE-2014-0956)
    
      - An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists
        that allows an authenticated attacker to cause a
        successful login to loop back to the login page
        indefinitely. (CVE-2014-0959)
    
      - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability
        exists which allows a remote attacker to gain access to
        sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3083)
    
      - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability
        exists due to improper validation of user-supplied

        arbitrary script code in the security context of a
        user's browser. (CVE-2014-3102)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to
        the returned error codes which an attacker can use to
        identify devices behind a firewall. (CVE-2014-4746)
    
      - An unspecified open redirect vulnerability exists that
        allows an attacker to perform a phishing attack by
        enticing a user to click on a malicious URL.
        (CVE-2014-4760)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists which
        allows a remote, authenticated attacker to gain access
        to sensitive information, such as user credentials,
        through certain HTML pages. (CVE-2014-4761)
    
      - An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists which
        allows a remote, authenticated attacker to upload large
        files, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
        (CVE-2014-4792)
    
      - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an
        authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
        system. (CVE-2014-4808)
    
      - A flaw exists due to improper recursion detection during
        entity expansion. A remote attacker, via a specially
        crafted XML document, can cause the system to crash,
        resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4814)
    
      - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that
        allows a remote attacker to identify whether or not a
        file exists based on the web server error codes.
        (CVE-2014-4821)
    
      - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists
        that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to execute
        arbitrary code via a specially crafted URL.
        (CVE-2014-6093)
    
      - An unspecified reflected cross-site scripting
        vulnerability exists due to improper validation of
        user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this
        flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary
        script code in a user's web browser within the security
        context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker
        to steal a user's cookie-based authentication
        credentials. (CVE-2014-6215)
    
      - An unspecified reflected cross-site scripting
        vulnerability exists due to improper validation of
        user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this
        flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary
        script code in a user's web browser within the security
        context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker
        to steal a user's cookie-based authentication
        credentials. (CVE-2014-8909)
    
      - An unspecified flaw exists that is trigged when handling
        Portal requests. A remote attacker can exploit this to
        cause a consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a
        denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1943)");
