The advisory explains in detail the potential problems and dangers with dynamically generated HTML and common scripting languages like Javascript and Java. The advisory offers guidelines for end-users, web page developers and web site administrators (including pointers to FAQ-pages, design tips and vendor patches) to minimise or prevent the risks involved.
