Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a JSP application that is prone to a
cross-site scripting flaw.

Description :

The remote host appears to be running Geronimo, an open-source J2EE
server from the Apache Software Foundation.

parameter before using it to generate a dynamic webpage. A possible hacker

executed in a user's browser within the context of the affected web
site.
