The Struts-based web application uses the server-side session sattribute "context_vmdirect" to store various settings, including the URL to the XML web service backend. By default, the URL is http://localhost/sdk, but the web service URL can be manually set from a client browser in several locations. If wsUrl is changed to point at an external server, all SOAP calls for that session are sent to the specified server. This includes plaintext authentication credentials. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into following a link to /ui/vmDirect.do, with an attacker-controlled server passed in the "view" parameter.
