Symptoms

Incorrect value of 'action' form attribute may be used inside 'onsubmit' event handlers if original 'action' is an absolute path.

Impact

Web application may work incorrectly.

Conditions

HTML form with absolute path in 'action' attribute; 'onsubmit' event handler for this form.

Workaround

There is no general workaround. But if 'action' value can be converted to relative path or to full URL (with host), this can be done using iRule.

Fix Information

Now value of form 'action' attribute is correct inside event handlers.
