Title
Apache Commons BCEL: Class2HTML emits unescaped class strings, enabling stored XSS
Summary
Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') vulnerability in Apache Commons BCEL.
This only happens when you're using Class2HTML to generate webpages for possibly-attacker-controlled class files, where Class2HTML emitters write attacker class-file strings into HTML unescaped (stored XSS in reports).
This issue affects Apache Commons BCEL: before 6.13.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.13.0, which fixes the issue.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
