Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-1231 is an XSS flaw in JAWS 0.4 Glossary. A remote attacker could inject web script or HTML through glossary term or description fields. If exposed on a live site, users viewing affected glossary content could receive attacker-controlled page content. Sources do not provide a vendor patch or active exploitation evidence. Exposure appears limited to deployments of JAWS 0.4, including the referenced 0.4 latest beta Glossary gadget. Modern environments are likely exposed only if legacy JAWS code remains internet-facing or embedded in an old site. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. It is unlikely to matter unless JAWS 0.4 is still deployed, but any internet-facing instance should be retired or remediated because XSS can affect site users and trust. Mitigation focus: Check current or archived JAWS vendor guidance for a fixed release or official workaround.; Upgrade or retire JAWS 0.4 if it remains in production.; Disable the Glossary gadget if no maintained fix is available..
