Remediation

Vendor Workaround

If a project was generated from the affected maven archetype using a command like the following: mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.portals.pluto.archetype \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=mvcbean-jsp-portlet-archetype \ -DarchetypeVersion=3.1.0 \ -DgroupId=com.mycompany \ -DartifactId=com.mycompany.my.mvcbean.jsp.portlet Then developers must fix the generated greeting.jspx file by escaping the rendered values submitted to the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields. For example, change: <span>${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}! </span> To: <span>${mvc.encoders.html(user.firstName)} ${mvc.encoders.html(user.lastName)}! </span> Moving forward, all such projects should be generated from version 3.1.1 of the Maven archetype.
