CVE-2013-5855: XSS due to insufficient escaping of user-supplied content in outputText tags and EL expressions

July 17, 2014 (updated October 9, 2018)

This package does not perform appropriate encoding when a <h:outputText> tag or EL expression is used after a scriptor style block, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via application-specific vectors.
