HyperView Geoportal Toolkit in versions lower than 8.5.0 does not restrict cross-domain requests when fetching remote content pointed by one of GET request parameters. An unauthenticated remote attacker can prepare links, which upon opening will load scripts from a remote location controlled by the attacker and execute them in the user space. By manipulating this parameter it is also possible to enumerate some of the devices in Local Area Network in which the server resides.
The product uses a web-client protection mechanism such as a Content Security Policy (CSP) or cross-domain policy file, but the policy includes untrusted domains with which the web client is allowed to communicate.

If a cross-domain policy file includes domains that should not be trusted, such as when using wildcards under a high-level domain, then the application could be attacked by these untrusted domains. In many cases, the attack can be launched without the victim even being aware of it.
