Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-6506:
----------------------------------------
Something I wanted intially to say but forgot and is not intended to only you Lilian but to all OFBiz contributors: if you ever find real XSS vulnerability, you should not disclose it like Lilian did here (fortunately it's not a real one, as long as not proved otherwise). You should rather follow the process which is explained on the "The Apache Security Team" page:
http://www.apache.org/security Note that this page is also reference in the "Security Vulnerabilities" section at the bottom of "OFBiz download" patge
http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html.
As it said intially on this page:
bq. We strongly encourage folks to report security vulnerabilities to one of our private security mailing lists first, before disclosing them in a public forum.
The rest is explained there...
