Description

' The remote web server is running a version of Apache Spark that is affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to a flaw in Spark cluster’s UI’s job and stage info pages, which allows a remote attacker to use specially crafted requests that can lead to arbitrary HTML and script code injection into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site. '
