## Abstract

Java API Documentation contains a frame injection vulnerability

## Content

**VULNERABILITY DETAILS: **

**CVEID: **CVE-2013-1571

**DESCRIPTION: **HTML documentation generated by the Javadoc tool contains a security vulnerability. The vulnerability allows an attacker to craft a malicious link to the documentation which injects arbitrary content into the main frame. The injected content appears to originate from the site hosting the documentation, but in fact it is hosted elsewhere, and may contain malicious links or content. This type of attack is known as “clickjacking”.

The attack does not require authentication and may be exploited remotely if the html page is network available, but some degree of specialized knowledge and techniques are required. An exploit would not impact the confidentiality of information or the availability of the system, but data integrity could be compromised.

CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See [_https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/84715_]() for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

**AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS: **
SPSS Modeler: 15.0 and earlier

**REMEDIATION: **
Users hosting publicly facing Java API Documentation are strongly encouraged to use Oracle’s Java API Documentation Updater Tool, a repair-in-place tool meant to correct existing documentation.

The Tool is available to all Java users on [_www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/_]().
