A reflected XSS vulnerability exists in the web console of the Document Viewer Agent in Novell GroupWise before 2014 R2 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 2 that may enable a remote attacker to execute JavaScript in the context of a valid user's browser session by getting the user to click on a specially crafted link. This could lead to session compromise or other browser-based attacks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-9169 is a reflected cross-site scripting issue in the Novell GroupWise Document Viewer Agent web console. An attacker could trick a valid user into opening a crafted link, causing JavaScript to run in that user’s browser session and potentially exposing the session to compromise. Exposure is most likely where legacy Novell GroupWise deployments still run the Document Viewer Agent web console below the fixed hot patch level, especially where users can access that console through browsers. Treat this as a legacy platform hygiene issue with session-compromise risk, not a confirmed emergency. Prioritize remediation if GroupWise remains in production or administrative consoles are broadly reachable. Mitigation focus: Upgrade GroupWise to 2014 R2 Support Pack 1 Hot Patch 2 or later.; Review Novell vendor guidance for supported remediation details.; Restrict access to the Document Viewer Agent web console to trusted users and networks..
