CA20111208-01: Security Notice for CA SiteMinder

Issued: December 08, 2011
Updated: August 22, 2012

CA Technologies Support is alerting customers to a potential risk in 
CA SiteMinder, CA Federation Manager, CA SOA Security Manager, CA 
SiteMinder Secure Proxy Server, and CA SiteMinder SharePoint Agent. A 
vulnerability exists that can allow a malicious user to execute a 
reflected cross site scripting (XSS) attack. CA Technologies has 
issued patches to address the vulnerability.

The vulnerability, CVE-2011-4054, occurs due to insufficient
