Source code disclosure of Websense Triton JSP files via double quote
character
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Websense Triton is affected by a source code disclosure vulnerability.
By appending a double quote character after JSP URLs, Websense will
return the source code of the JSP instead of executing the JSP. An
attacker can use this issue to inspect parts of Websense's source code
in order to gain more knowledge about Websense's internals.

Tested versions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This issue was discovered on Websense Triton v7.8.3 and Websense
appliance modules V-Series v7.7. Other versions may be affected as well.

By appending a double quote character after JSP URLs, Websense will return the source code of the JSP instead of executing the JSP. For example:
https://<target>:9443/triton/login/pages/certificateDone.jsp%22
Information disclosure vulnerabilities aid attackers trying to compromise the web application.
