DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability and a security issue have been reported in Xcode
tools, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information or to compromise a user's system.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

where the session ID is always appended to the URL generated by
WOHyperlink. This may lead to the disclosure of session IDs when
generating URLs to other web sites.
