Technical Details & Description:
================================
A client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability has been discovered in the 
official Shareholder Investor Relations  web-application. (2015-Q2).
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate client-side application 
requests to compromise user account session information.

The vulnerability is located in the browser name http request. Remote attackers 
are able to manipulate the local user agent name value. After the first 
manipulation the attacker requests the investor web-application with the wrong 
credentials to provoke a client-side script code execution. The user agent 
information are not correctly parsed or encoded which results in the 
client-side exploitation of the vulnerability.

The security risk of the cross site web vulnerability is estimated as medium 
with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.4. 
Exploitation of the cross site scripting web vulnerability requires no 
privilege web application user account and no user interaction. 
Successful exploitation results in client-side account theft by hijacking, 
client-side phishing, client-side external redirects and 
non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected service modules.

Solution - Fix & Patch:
=======================
The client-side cross site scripting web vulnerability can be patched by a 
secure parse and encode of the vulnerable client agent name value. 
Encode the input and parse the output to prevent further client-side script 
code injection attacks via GET method. 


Security Risk:
==============
The security risk of the remote cross site scripting web vulnerability in the 
investor web-application is estimated as medium. (CVSS 3.4)
