Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Sun Secure Global Desktop (SSGD, aka Tarantella) before 4.20.983 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, possibly involving (1) taarchives.cgi, (2) ttaAuthentication.jsp, (3) ttalicense.cgi, (4) ttawlogin.cgi, (5) ttawebtop.cgi, (6) ttaabout.cgi, or (7) test-cgi. NOTE: This information is based upon a vague initial disclosure. Details will be updated as they become available.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Sun Secure Global Desktop cross-site scripting issue. If an old SSGD/Tarantella web portal is still reachable, an attacker might inject script or HTML into user sessions. The public record is vague, so urgency depends mainly on whether the product remains deployed and exposed. Exposure is most likely in legacy SSGD/Tarantella installations, especially externally reachable web portals. The supplied affected-product fields are incomplete, so asset inventory and version confirmation are necessary before assessing scope. Treat this as a legacy exposure check, not an active emergency, unless SSGD is still internet-facing. Prioritize identifying and isolating any remaining deployments because unsupported remote-access portals can create outsized business risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Sun Secure Global Desktop or Tarantella deployments.; Check whether installed versions are before 4.20.983.; Review Sun or successor vendor guidance before changing production systems..
