CVE-2009-1729

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.3)—

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Sun Java System Communications Express 6 2005Q4 (aka 6.2) and 6.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the abperson_displayName parameter to uwc/abs/search.xml in the Add Contact implementation in the Personal Address Book component or (2) the temporaryCalendars parameter to uwc/base/UWCMain.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
Base score: 4.3

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.33%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 92
Score date: 10/6/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
