Summary
Apache Sling Engine has a stored cross-site scripting flaw. An attacker can use an included component to change response headers, content type, charset, or redirect settings, which bypasses the include protections meant to stop this.

Read the original description
Improper neutralization of input during web page generation ('cross-site scripting') vulnerability in Apache Sling Engine. Content-Type, charset, and redirect changes from an included component evade the protectheaders / checkcontenttype enforcement through setHeader(), repeated calls to setContentType(), the charset APIs, Servlet 6.1 redirect overloads, and stale config - enabling stored XSS despite enabled protections.
This issue affects Apache Sling Engine before 3.0.4.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.4, which fixes the issue.
