# Description: User must visit any site which is restricted as per
# forcepoint policy. So that forcepoint web security will show a generic
# page. While parsing "Domain Name" within generic page forcepoint is not
# validating Host header, which caused XSS.

Lets assume, while accessing anysite.com, forcepoint web security prevents
us to go to that website with its custom exception/blocking page. Now
follow the steps below:

*Steps*:

1. Intercept the traffic while accessing https://anysite.com
2. Modify the Host header from anysite.com to ">
<script>alert("evilsite")</script>

*Timeline:*

- Oct. 21, 2019 - Issue Reported to PSIRT team of ForcePoint
- Oct. 23, 2019 - ForcePoint team confirms the issue
- Oct. 24, 2019 - CVE-2019-6146 has been assigned
