3) Description of Vulnerability=0D
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Injection vulnerability was discovered within the Juniper Netscreen firewall NetOS version 5.4.0r9.0. The vulnerability is caused by failure to validate input from the web interface login, and telnet session login. This makes it possible for an attacker to inject javascript as part of the user name during login. The javascript is then stored in the device event logs. When the event logs are viewed within the Netscreen web console the javascript is executed. A successful attack would allow an attacker to run JavaScript on the computer system connecting to the netscreen web management console which could lead to system compromise. =0D
