This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrator's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) Input passed to the "filePath" parameter in opencms/system/workplace/admin/workplace/logfileview/logfileViewSettings.jsp is not properly verified before being used to display files, which can be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files. Successful exploitation requires valid administrator credentials. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 7.0.4. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Restrict access to trusted users. Do not visit untrusted site while being logged in.
