Tomcat cross-site scripting vulnerability
Our latest PCI scan using the Saint scanner shows the following:
404 Error Page Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
12/21/09
Apache Tomcat is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because
it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in
the browser
of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site.
Is there any way to mitigate this vulnerability (I suspect anyone using
Tomcat is going to see the same thing)?
Thanks,
Carl

Mark,
Thanks for the reply.
I agree, I didn't see any references, just the blanket statement so I
posted it to see if anyone else had bumped into this.
I guess I will just challenge them to provide some evidence and see
where it goes.
Thanks,
Carl

What vulnerability? I don't see any evidence (no Tomcat version, no CVE
reference, no PoC) to back up the claim of a vulnerability.
