Oracle Mojarra 2.2.x before 2.2.6 and 2.1.x before 2.1.28 does not perform appropriate encoding when a (1) tag or (2) EL expression is used after a scriptor style block, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via application-specific vectors.
CVE-2013-5855
This CVE was only ever scored under CVSS v2.0. NVD CVSS v2.0 base 4.3 — v2 rates that MEDIUM (v2 bands: LOW 0.0–3.9 / MEDIUM 4.0–6.9 / HIGH 7.0–10.0; v2 has no CRITICAL band). Vector AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N. CVSS v2 is an older, coarser metric than v3.1/v4.0 (no Scope, no User Interaction, no Attack Requirements), so it is not directly comparable to a v3 or v4 score. NVD has never re-scored this record under v3. EPSS predicts 4.7% exploitation probability in the next 30 days, which is reflected in EG Risk but does not lift the v2 base. Confidence: LOW.
