What is CVE-2006-0254?

CVE-2006-0254 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in geronimo:geronimo-console-standard (maven), affecting versions < 1.1. It is fixed in 1.1. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.

Which versions of geronimo:geronimo-console-standard are affected by CVE-2006-0254?

geronimo:geronimo-console-standard (maven) versions < 1.1 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2006-0254?

Yes. CVE-2006-0254 is fixed in 1.1. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2006-0254 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2006-0254 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2006-0254 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Apache Geronimo console 1.0 vulnerable to cross-site scripting

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Apache Geronimo 1.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) time parameter to cal2.jsp and (2) any invalid parameter, which causes an XSS when the log file is viewed by the Web-Access-Log viewer. Version 1.1 contains fixes for these issues.

Impact

Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.

Affected versions

geronimo:geronimo-console-standard (< 1.1)

Security releases

geronimo:geronimo-console-standard → 1.1 (maven)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
